"My family is in trouble. My 14-year-old son got into a bad company and committed a serious offense.

Thank God everyone is alive; there will be an investigation, the perpetrators will be held accountable without any exceptions, let it be a lesson for both my son and me," his father, MP Ihor Popov wrote on Facebook.
