Case on accident involving Trukhin sent to SBI since possible subject of offense is MP – Interior minister

KYIV. Sept 6 (Interfax-Ukraine) – The police handed over the materials of the case on the road accident with the participation of MP Oleksandr Trukhin (Servant of the People) to the State Bureau of Investigations (SBI), since it is the Bureau of Investigations that investigates the cases, the subject of which is the member of parliament, Minister of Internal Affairs of Ukraine Denys Monastyrsky said.

"The law prescribes that if a possible subject of the offense is a special subject, who is a deputy, then the investigation should be carried out by the SBI. Therefore, the case has now been transferred to the SBI," the Interior Minister said in an exclusive interview with Interfax-Ukraine.

He added: "I am sure that all the answers to the questions we have will be received in the near future."

As reported, an accident involving Trukhin occurred on the Boryspil highway on August 23. The Audi car drove at high speed into the Ford car, which, in turn, rammed at the Daewoo. Six people were injured, including two children. A number of media outlets then reported that Trukhin was driving Audi, but this information was subsequently deleted.

On August 31, the National Police announced that the case would be investigated by the State Bureau of Investigations.
