“Every day in the Kyiv region the “iron” works. That is, a house is raided, and its residents are tortured in order to remove valuables. At the same time, no one is imprisoned under the article “banditry”. Every successful raid strengthens the gangs and provides an incentive to organize new gangs,” he said.
According to Rechinsky, the situation has gone so far that it is time to talk about introducing martial law to suppress gangs.
“If the situation develops at the same pace, then martial law will have to be introduced not because of an external aggressor, but because of the danger of gangs. New structures are needed to combat this scourge. With special powers.
In 1993, Ukraine adopted the law “On the organizational and legal basis for the fight against organized crime.” Now is the time to adopt the law “On the organizational and legal foundations of the fight against banditry,” writes the former press secretary of the SBU.
