The State Bureau of Investigation has completed investigative actions against a serviceman of the State Border Guard Service who offered men illegal exit from Ukraine. This was reported by UNN with reference to the SBI.
Details
As the investigation established, the border guard used social networks to find men who wanted to avoid mobilization and illegally leave the country.
He promised to arrange the transportation of "clients" by taxi outside official checkpoints to the state border for 3 thousand US dollars during his shifts.
Then the men were shown a place where they could cross the river and get to Romania. Law enforcement officers exposed the border guard and detained him during negotiations with a potential "client" - the report says.
The detained serviceman is accused of abuse of influence (Part 3 of Article 369-2 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine). The sanction of the article provides for up to 8 years of imprisonment.
The indictment has already been sent to court.
