According to the investigation, the officials established a scheme for receiving illegal benefits from entrepreneurs who imported used cars from the USA.
The deputy head artificially created obstacles during customs clearance, after which the inspector, through intermediaries, offered a "solution to the problem" - accelerated and unhindered customs clearance for money.
Both were detained in accordance with Article 208 of the Criminal Procedure Code of Ukraine while receiving $2,400. They were notified of suspicion under Part 3 of Article 368 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.
As noted, the issue of choosing preventive measures and removing them from their positions is currently being resolved.
