Mykola Tyschenko's bodyguard struck a deal with investigators and has been released.

The bodyguard of the suspect in the assault on the serviceman, MP Mykola Tyshchenko, Kostyantyn Tsubera, has reached a plea agreement with the investigation and has committed to testify against him. In return, the man, who was also suspected of the attack, was released from serving his sentence, according to the court ruling dated November 13.

It is noted that Kostyantyn Tsubera reached a plea agreement with the investigation on November 7. He has committed to provide incriminating testimony against Tyshchenko and others involved in the attack on former serviceman of the Kraken unit, Dmytro Pavlov.

Like Mykola Tyshchenko, Tsubera was informed of the suspicion under part 2 of Article 146 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine and part 2 of Article 127 (illegal deprivation of liberty and torture). He admitted his guilt and entered into a plea agreement with the investigation, and in exchange, the court released him from serving his sentence – the penalty for Tsubera was five years of imprisonment, which was replaced with a two-year probation period.

According to the court's decision, Tsubera will be exempt from punishment if he does not commit a new criminal offense. Additionally, Tyshchenko's bodyguard must:

• report for registration to the supervising authority,
• notify of any change in residence, employment, or education;
• not leave Ukraine without the consent of law enforcement authorities.

Kostyantyn Tsubera has already been released from the pre-trial detention center and has been ordered to reimburse the state for the costs of conducting judicial examinations amounting to just over 6,000 UAH. Meanwhile, Mykola Tyshchenko himself has had his round-the-clock house arrest extended until December 23.

Recall that on June 20, videos appeared on social media showing the beating of a member of the Kraken special unit, 33-year-old Dmytro Pavlov (call sign "Syn"), by a group of masked individuals in Dnipro. The attackers detained Pavlov while he was out for a walk with his wife and infant, put handcuffs on him, and struck him several times. The investigation determined that the veteran was attacked by a group acting on the orders of Mykola Tyshchenko.

On June 25, Tyshchenko was notified of the suspicion and searches were conducted at his residence. During the searches at Mykola Tyshchenko's home, a large amount of foreign currency and valuable items were found. Law enforcement did not specify how much money the MP was holding. Additionally, Tyshchenko broke his phone in an attempt to obstruct law enforcement.

On the same day, the Pechersk District Court of Kyiv imposed a preventive measure on MP Mykola Tyshchenko in the form of round-the-clock house arrest.
