Its only because the guy is an American that he can possibly make a fuss out of it. says Major Yuri Krasnikov, lead MBC-Mykolaiv investigator. What a cynical statement for an MBC Major.
Rather than confronting serious allegations of torture in detention, theft by Militia, and corruption in the Mykolaiv Militia, Prokuratura and Judiciary, Krasnikov comes out with this platitude.
The head contact for the Mykolaiv MBC appears to be a Mykola Hrihorovich Kypianskii. The contact for the Criminal Investigations Unit of that Oblast seems to be a Valentin Mykolaivich Parseniuk. Kypianskii's position is on the MBC website: http://www.mik-mia.mksat.net/ as is Parseniuk's.
One of Kypianskii's jobs is to ensure that "The Program to develop a positive image for the MBC in Ukraine 2003-2007", touted on the Mykolaiv MBC site, is implemented. That program claims to foster a Militia that is transparent in its operations, and responsive to each citizen's concerns and complaints. It then lays claim to the highest level of professionalism and competence possible for the Mykolaiv Oblast MBC.
Krasnikov's statement makes a mockery of these lofty MBC aspirational goals. Kupianskii, Parseniuk, and other senior MBC managers ought to do something about it. If they don't, the Mykolaiv MBC leadership will likely wind up holding the bag--and bearing the consequences--for this one.
You'd figure that that senior level cops would understand their responsibilities within the mandates they hold. Their actions, policies and decisions should be in the best practice of their profession--its a difficult job. If that isn't enough of a motivation, they ought to realize the career risks they take with corrupt practices--they only have to look to their ex-counterparts in other oblasts to see what happens when Kyiv gets involved.
