NABU detective Magamedrasulov: Target was not me, but Kryvonos and Klymenko
NABU detective Ruslan Magamedrasulov, who was released from custody the day before, believes that his detention was intended to put pressure on the heads of NABU and SAPO.
He said this in an interview with UP, according to Censor.NET.
Detention
According to Magamedrasulov, his detention was carried out solely to put pressure on NABU and SAPO.
"It is clear to me why their actions were carried out – solely to put pressure on NABU and SAPO, to obtain important documents and information, and to try to recruit people after these actions, because all the Bureau's employees were frightened. Many were worried about their families, about their parents," he said.
The detective noted that many people were the subject of his interest in terms of documentation.
"Plus, they formed a picture in their minds that I had direct contact with the leadership of NABU and the leadership of SAP.
That is, within the scope of my activities, I constantly communicate with them. And they believed that I was some kind of centre of influence: they would detain me, put pressure on me, and I would give some kind of incriminating testimony," Magamedrasulov explained.
"You understand that I was not the ultimate goal. The main targets were Semen Yuriyovych Kryvonos and Oleksandr Vasyliovych Klymenko. They had to gain control over them. I was just another tool for them to achieve their goal," added the detective.
