The SBU and police detained an inspector of the Rava-Russkaya customs post of Lviv customs for bribery. According to law enforcement officers, he organized extortions from carriers for the unimpeded transportation of parcels.

According to investigators, the employee organized a scheme to receive bribes from carriers for unhindered customs clearance of parcels. The amount of unlawful benefit amounted to 200 euros per car,” the Lvov region prosecutor’s office reported on February 5.
