According to the SBU press center, Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) officers detained an investigator from the Main Directorate of the Fiscal Service of Ukraine in the Kherson region red-handed while accepting a $6000 bribe.
An official promised a local businessman to drop the criminal case against his company. To avoid the risk of being caught, the bribe-taker devised a criminal scheme, using a middleman—a private lawyer—through whom he was supposed to receive the money.
The perpetrator was detained during the special operation. He has now been charged with a crime under Part 3, Article 368 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (receiving an unlawful benefit).
The investigation is ongoing.
