Two citizens of the Republic of Kazakhstan, who are suspected of carrying out an attempted assassination of Kazakh opposition leader Aidos Sadykov, have been put on the international wanted list.
This was reported by the Prosecutor General's Office on its Telegram channel.
The Office of the Prosecutor General reports that under the procedural guidance of the Kyiv City Prosecutor's Office, two citizens of the Republic of Kazakhstan were served with a notice of suspicion of attempted murder committed by order and by prior conspiracy by a group of persons.
The report reminds that the attempted assassination of the Kazakh citizen was committed on June 18 in the Shevchenkivskyi district of Kyiv, near the apartment building where the couple lives.
"Thanks to the coordinated actions of law enforcement officers, it has been preliminarily established that two men carefully planned the murder of a journalist who has refugee status in Ukraine," the statement said.
The Prosecutor General's Office reports that the suspects arrived in Ukraine after crossing the Polish-Ukrainian border on June 2. In the capital, they rented an apartment and bought a car to constantly monitor the victim and study his routes.
"On June 18, the day the crime was committed, one of the suspects approached the victim's car, fired a shot, while his accomplice watched the situation around the house. After that, they left the crime scene. The suspects left the territory of Ukraine on the day of the attempted premeditated murder, crossing the Ukraine - Moldova border," the statement said.
Currently, two citizens of the Republic of Kazakhstan are put on the international wanted list. The Holosiivskyi District Court of Kyiv imposed on them a measure of restraint in the form of detention (in absentia). The investigation is ongoing and measures are being taken to detain the suspects.
As reported by the wife of Kazakh opposition journalist Aidos Sadykov, Natalia Sadykova, the man is in serious condition. He underwent surgery on June 18.
