The SBU press service emphasized that this step is part of the systematic documentation of war crimes committed by Russian judges. Similar measures were previously applied to Kostyantyn Prostov and Serhiy Obraztsov.
According to the investigation, the suspicion was prepared based on collected evidence of Magomadov’s violation of international law regarding the treatment of prisoners of war. The investigation is being conducted under the procedural guidance of the Office of the Prosecutor General of Ukraine.
According to the case materials, on September 11, 2024, Magomadov sentenced a Ukrainian serviceman to imprisonment using fabricated charges. This, according to the investigation, continues a series of illegal verdicts against combatants who bear no criminal responsibility for combat actions.
“To stage a show ‘trial,’ Magomadov used fabricated accusations against a serviceman of the Security and Defense Forces,” the SBU statement reads.
Based on the collected evidence, the Russian judge has been notified in absentia of suspicion under Part 1 of Article 438 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, which provides liability for war crimes and violations of the Geneva Conventions on the Treatment of Prisoners of War (1949).
