In the case that combined anti -corruption bodies and police, a lawyer was exposed to the client, allegedly to “resolve” the issue with a judge, and in fact left the money to himself. NABU reports.
According to the investigation, the lawyer assured the citizen that he could “hold up” the issue of closing the administrative case on the refusal of the driver from passing the inspection for intoxication. For his "services" he invited $ 1500, explaining that these funds seem to be transferred to judges of one of the district courts of Ivano-Frankivsk.
However, as the investigation found out, no bribe transfer was planned - the lawyer simply misleaded the client and disposed of money at his own discretion.
As a result of the joint actions of NABU, SAP and the management of strategic investigations in the Ivano-Frankivsk region of the National Police, the offender was suspected.

The lawyer's actions were qualified immediately under several articles of the Criminal Code of Ukraine:
-

Part 4 of Art. 27 (incitement to the crime),
-
Part 3 of Art. 369 (proposal or providing an undue benefit to an employee),
-

The investigation is ongoing. In case of guilt of the lawyer, it threatens real imprisonment, taking into account the intent and circumstances of deception.
