A Moldovan citizen was detained yesterday on the Dniester River by border guards of the Mohyliv-Podilskyi detachment. The 42-year-old foreigner said that he was on vacation and after a few glasses of alcohol, he decided to test his strength by crossing the river on a bet with his friends. Gathering his resolve and the frantic "support" of his fellow vacationers, he swam to the opposite bank. However, Ukrainian border guards were already waiting for him,
It is reported that law enforcement officers drew up documents against the offender for illegal border crossing under Art. 204-1 of the Code of Administrative Offenses. In addition, he was banned from entering the territory of Ukraine for 5 years for such a "prank".
Currently, the swimmer has been handed over to his Moldovan colleagues as a readmission.
