Duka's lawyer suggests a child may have damaged mobile phones

Doubts regarding the source of information on damaged devices

The defence counsel for SBU Major General Serhiy Duka provided a comment regarding reports of destroyed mobile phones, which may be significant for the investigation of the "Carthage" criminal case. The lawyer questioned the origin of this information and proposed an alternative version of events.

«Які знищені докази? Звідки інформація, що це телефони Дуки? Звідки знають, що там щось було?» (What destroyed evidence? Where does the information come from that these are Duka's phones? How do they know there was anything on them?) — the lawyer asked, expressing doubt about the reliability of the available data on the gadgets' content and their ownership.

Alternative explanation for the condition of the gadgets

The defence counsel also expressed the assumption that the damage to the mobile phones may have occurred for no clearly defined reason. Specifically, he proposed a scenario in which a child may have damaged the devices.
