Recall, on October 22, the Security Service of Ukraine detained Vyacheslav Boguslayev, on October 24, he and the head of one of the departments, Oleg Dzyuba, were taken into custody.. Both defendants are suspected under two articles of the Criminal Code of Ukraine: 111-1 (collaboration activity) and 111-2 (complicity with the aggressor state).

According to investigators, Vyacheslav Boguslayev, the former head of Motor Sich, sold aircraft engines to the Russian Federation, and with the outbreak of a full-scale war, he ordered to hide documents and disassemble helicopters so that the Ukrainian military could not use them.. Judging by the audio recordings of Boguslaev’s conversations with the Russians, he complained about the looting and shelling by the Russians of Zaporozhye and, in particular, the plant he headed, but supported the occupation of Ukraine.

Earlier, the media reported that Boguslaev owns the citizenship of the Russian Federation, which he received back in 2000..
