Two People Zelensky Granted Ukrainian Citizenship Caught in Robbery (VIDEO)
Poroshenko was not the only one handing out citizenship to dubious individuals.
Two Georgian citizens who were detained on suspicion of robbery had recently received Ukrainian citizenship.
On August 20, law enforcement officers detained three Georgian citizens on charges of robbery: 43-year-old Mirian Gochadze, 41-year-old Tengiz Zanadze and 33-year-old Levan Khutsishvili. Two of them are on the list of people to whom Zelensky granted citizenship – Khutsishvili and Zanadze.
Mirian Gochadze headed a special purpose police unit of the Interior Ministry until 2013. Tengiz Zanadze served in the Interior Ministry bodies from 2004 to 2013, and Levan Khutsishvili was the head of one of the departments in the border police. After moving from Georgia, all three took an active part in combat operations in eastern Ukraine.
The detention took place on a highway in the city of Boryspil. Before that, they broke into the home of a businessman in Kyiv district and, threatening the owner with a firearm, tied him up, after which they took money from the house and stole his car.
The investigation is being conducted under the Ukrainian Criminal Code article on "Robbery".
On June 28, 2019, newly elected Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky granted citizenship to fourteen foreigners who took part in defending the territorial integrity of our country. In particular, these were: Dmitry Belogortsev, David Gachechiladze, Abdul Jalil, Tachi Jafarov, Rudolf Egorenko, Tengiz Zanadze, Giorgi Kakhniashvili, Valery Kolot, Merab Kontselidze, Mamuka Muzashvili, Yury Savilov, Levani Khutsishvili, Arslanbek Karimov and Yulia Tolopa.
