As it turned out, the minibus passengers who like to ride in the luggage compartment are men aged 25 to 40. All of them are citizens of Ukraine, but they live in 12 different regions.
Currently, the minibus driver is suspected of organizing illegal movement of people, so he was temporarily put on the radar of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine.

For this, the organizer of the illegal transportation faces 3 to 9 years in prison under Article 332 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.
As for the other detainees, administrative reports on border violations were drawn up against them.
