According to the prosecutor's office, the organizers guaranteed clients "full protection" - from transportation to cover in case of inspections.

The ex-commander and his accomplices were caught "red-handed" while receiving part of the sum for such "services."

The accomplices were responsible for calculating and transporting "clients." It cost from 5 to 7 thousand US dollars. The money was received in cash, and transportation was carried out secretly to avoid the attention of the command
