During the searches, law enforcement officers seized about 2 thousand food rations prepared for repacking, more than 6 thousand 800 boxes and 200 bags of food, 16 thousand cans of canned food, as well as money in the amount of about 5 million hryvnias.,
The total volume of confirmed sales is more than 600 thousand UAH.
According to the procedural guidance of prosecutors of the Mykolaiv regional prosecutor's office, the defendants were informed of suspicion of illegal use of humanitarian aid for profit (Part 3 of Article 201-2 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine).
