Employees of the State Bureau of Investigation detained an employee of the Nikolaev district shopping center and JV, who, together with his accomplice, demanded money from the relatives of the servicemen who were handed over to check military accounting documents. This was reported by the DBR press service.
The criminals promised the relatives of the mobilized to "resolve the issue" and free men from mobilization. To do this, they demanded considerable amounts of money, namely $ 4.5 thousand. The TCC employee and his accomplice intended to influence the CCC officials in order for the mobilized to avoid being sent to service.
The criminal group was detained on February 13, when they received money from relatives of the mobilized. As it turned out, the family of a man who has already joined the Armed Forces, learned about the extortion only after the attackers were detained.
The detainee declared suspicion under Article 369-2 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine-obtaining an undue benefit for influencing the decision by a person authorized to perform the functions of the state. In the near future, the court will choose them a measure of restraint and threaten them up to eight years in prison.
The investigation is ongoing, and law enforcement officers identify all persons involved in this corruption scheme.
