Four people were detained while trying to transfer improper benefits amounting to a million dollars to an official of the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU). The group planned to seize property through corruption schemes. Under the procedural guidance of the Office of the Prosecutor General, they were informed of the suspicion.
This was reported by the press service of the Office of the Prosecutor General of Ukraine .
Investigators found that the attackers created a plan to seize the property assets of several companies. They planned to involve an SBU official in this, offering him a large sum as a bribe.
The criminal group planned to file a statement about the allegedly illegal actions of some entrepreneurs and include this information in the Unified Register of Pre-trial Investigations. According to their plan, law enforcement officers should assist in carrying out investigative actions, including assessing property and seizing it.
The last step of the criminal plan should be the sale of the seized property in favor of third parties in whose interests the detainees acted. They were detained under Art. 208 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of the Russian Federation when transferring part of the bribe to an intermediary.
The homes of suspects and persons involved in the crime were searched. The choice of measures in the form of detention is currently being considered. The pre-trial investigation continues under the leadership of investigators from the Main Investigation Department of the Security Service of Ukraine with operational support from the Main Directorate of the Security Service of Ukraine.
We would like to remind you that we previously reported that an official of PJSC Ukrnafta, who demanded 160,000 hryvnia in illegal benefits for resolving the land issue, will soon receive punishment. Metropolitan police investigators have already completed the pre-trial investigation and sent the case to court.
