Prosecutor’s Office has no connection to leak of Shabunin’s intimate photos online, - Prosecutor General’s Office
The prosecutor's office stated that it had nothing to do with the dissemination of photos from the phone of Vitalii Shabunin, chairman of the AntAC board.
According to Censor.NET, this was reported to Channel 24 by the Office of the Prosecutor General.
What is known?
The PGO noted that if facts are established that indicate the unlawful use of pre-trial investigation materials, such actions will be given the appropriate legal assessment in accordance with the requirements of the law.
At the same time, they said that if the dissemination of these photographs is not related to the materials of the criminal proceedings and is a result of a violation of privacy, then the investigation of such facts is possible only on the basis of a statement by the victim.
"As of now, no appeals or statements on this matter have been received by the Office of the Prosecutor General.
At the same time, public attempts to groundlessly link the prosecution authorities to the unauthorised dissemination of information from criminal proceedings are not based on facts and appear to be deliberate attempts to discredit the institution.
The prosecutor's office does not participate in information campaigns and does not comment on assumptions," the Office of the Prosecutor General said.
