Yesterday, June 21, 47 men who tried to illegally cross the border were detained near the border with Moldova. This information was confirmed by the state border service Andrey Demchenko on the air of the telethon, reports UNN.
Unfortunately, attempts to cross the border illegally continue. Yesterday, a large number of people were detained, whom the organizers tried to deliver to the border in order to cross it in the future. We will be able to tell you more details later, as the necessary procedural actions are currently taking place. The detention took place by border guards together with other law enforcement agencies, in particular the SBU, the state Bureau of Investigation under the procedural guidance of the prosecutor's office. The necessary investigative actions are still ongoing. We will take a break, but be sure to mention it
He noted that over the past period, criminal groups have been acting more brazenly, because they are trying to bring people to the border in large groups in order to help them illegally cross the border in the future.
"Our operational staff is working to expose such schemes, identify organizers and accomplices. During martial law, more than 480 criminal groups were exposed that promised people assistance in illegally crossing the border," Demchenko added.
