The head of the Odesa customs post was detained for extorting bribes

The law enforcement officers detained acting the deputy head — the head of the customs clearance department of one of the Odesa customs posts, who systematically demanded bribes from legal entities and individuals for speeding up the customs clearance of goods. This case became another confirmation of the presence of corruption schemes in state bodies involved in the control and regulation of international trade.

For various sums of bribes, he "guaranteed" the fastest possible customs clearance of cargo without carrying out mandatory forms of customs control. In case of refusal to pay, the registration was delayed or refused altogether. In general, the law enforcement officers recorded the facts of illegal enrichment for $2,500. During the transfer of the second part of the tranche, he was detained by law enforcement officers.

On the basis of the collected evidence, the suspect was charged under Part 3 of Article 368 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (extortion and receipt of illegal benefits by an official).

The sanction of the article provides for punishment in the form of imprisonment for a term of up to 10 years with confiscation of property. The figure was sent to custody and suspended from his post.
