Deputy Head of National Police Tyshlek resigned, - media
The deputy head of the National Police, Dmytro Tyshlek, wrote a letter of resignation "on his own accord". He is awaiting the results of the SBI investigation.
According to Censor.NET, he said this in a commentary to RBC-Ukraine.
"I decided to write a letter of resignation from the post of deputy head of the National Police on my own accord. I have submitted it to the management for signature," he said.
He added that he is waiting for the results of the SBI investigation, which he reminded was launched at his request, and the NACP inspection.
As Censor.NET previously reported, Bihus.Info published an investigation into the fact that the wife of the Deputy Head of the National Police, Dmytro Tyshlek, had not given up her Russian passport as of the summer of 2023, and he himself was using the real estate and cars of the family of the partner of the leader of the Rostov criminal group.
According to a document obtained by Censor.NET, in 2005, Tyshlek's wife, Oleksandra Balakay, requested that a new passport of a Russian citizen be issued to her, which was done. This particular passport of a Russian citizen, according to an investigation by Bihus.info journalists, is still valid. In addition, according to the sources, in 2015-2017, she regularly travelled to Russia and the Russian-occupied Crimea.
In response, the deputy head of the National Police, Tyshlek, said that the media had "distorted the facts" in the investigation into his wife's Russian passport. He also said that he was going to appeal to the State Bureau of Investigation regarding this situation.
Subsequently, the Minister of Internal Affairs Ihor Klymenko removed Tyshlek from his post as deputy head of the National Police.
Also, the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine, at the request of Censor.NET, reported that Tyshlek had returned to his duties, as the internal investigation did not reveal any facts that would indicate the existence of Tyshlek's ties to any criminal authorities, including those mentioned in the journalistic investigation. The investigation also found no other grounds for dismissing Tyshlek from his position.
