"I Sincerely Sympathize": Judge Yemelyanov Denies Any Link to the Murder of Sobolev's Son
He is ready to cooperate with law enforcement agencies.
The judge believes that mentioning his surname in the context of this tragedy is part of a campaign to discredit him.
The judge gave his comment to Ukrainian News.
Artur Yemelyanov
former judge of the Supreme Economic Court of UkraineThe death of a child is an irreparable loss for parents, a great tragedy. As a father, I sincerely sympathize. The statements and assumptions that have appeared in the media, including from well-known journalists, about my alleged involvement in this terrible event are nothing more than a cynical attempt to use a person's grief for their own mercenary interests.
Yemelyanov is also ready to provide explanations to law enforcement agencies, the outlet notes. Artur Yemelyanov considers journalist Volodymyr Boyko the original source of the information and states that he is ready to meet with him and explain the situation.
Earlier, on Sunday, December 1, a Range Rover used by Kyiv Oblast Council deputy Viacheslav Sobolev was shot at near the Mario restaurant. As a result, the deputy's three-year-old son Oleksandr was killed. Police detained the suspects, who are 18 and 19 years old, one of whom served in the Right Sector battalion. Police believe the murder was a contract killing and that the hitmen's target was Viacheslav Sobolev.
In 2016, on his Facebook page, Sobolev complained about attacks, the organizers of which he named as former HCJU judges Artur Yemelyanov and Viktor Tatkov.
