The phone number that was previously planted to the pro-Ukrainian activist Oleg Prykhodko is registered to a certain Sergei Zavyalov, who does not exist. According to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the man has never lived on the territory of the Russian Federation. This was reported by the Crimean Solidarity public association.
“At the last meeting in the case of Oleh Prykhodko, the defense received a response to a request for billing the phone number, which, according to the investigation, belonged to the defendant, said lawyer Nazim Sheikhmambetov. From this phone Prikhodko allegedly corresponded about the terrorist attacks in Saky and Lviv. The response showed that the subscriber connected to two base stations: in the nearby villages of Orikhove and Volodymyrove. Both of them are in the Saky region. At the same time, Sergei Zavyalov, on whom this number was registered according to the MTS response, does not exist. He is a fictitious person”,- the message said.
According to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the man has never lived on the territory of the Russian Federation, and the address at which he is allegedly registered has not existed since 1994. The SIM card was purchased a few days before the correspondence with an unknown person from Ukraine took place.
“The defense petitioned for a similar request for Oleh Prykhodko's number. The lawyers wanted to compare the data of Prykhodko's real number with the data of BQ found during the search. In their opinion, this would answer the question of where their client was at the time of correspondence. The court refused this petition”,- said the lawyer Nazim Sheikhmambetov.
We remind that on February 8, 2019, Russian security officials searched the dwelling of pro-Ukrainian activist Oleg Prykhodko in the village of Orikhove, Saky District.
On October 9, 2019, Russian security officials again broke into Oleg Prykhodko’s dwelling and kidnapped him. On October 10, a search was conducted in his dwelling, during which the man was detained. His wife Liubov Prykhodko was also detained. The activist is accused of “terrorism" and “manufacture of explosives.” The woman was detained as a witness, but later released. On October 10, the so-called Kyiv District Court arrested Oleg Prykhodko until December 10. Later Prykhodko’s DNA samples were illegally taken. According to lawyer Nazim Sheikhmambetov, this was done for the purpose of falsifying evidence. The political prisoner had his measure of restraint repeatedly extended.
