The press service of the Volyn Oblast Prosecutor's Office reports that officers from the Investigative Department of the Volyn Oblast Prosecutor's Office, together with operatives from the State Service for Combating Economic Crimes and the Internal Security Department of the Internal Security Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine, have uncovered the illegal activities of four officials. Officials from a district office of the State Migration Service of Ukraine and two employees of the State Enterprise "Document" demanded bribes for expedited issuance of biometric passports.

It was discovered that the perpetrators had established a systematic scheme to extort and obtain improper benefits from citizens who applied for Ukrainian passports for travel abroad, travel documents for children, and residence registration certificates.

As a result of jointly planned investigative actions, these officials were caught transferring funds on January 21, 2015. The pre-trial investigation is currently ongoing.

During the investigation, 300 similar cases of extortion were documented, totaling over 200 thousand UAH.
