The State Bureau of Investigation detained the son of an official of the Vinnitsa Commissariat, who demanded 20 thousand US dollars for registration of travel abroad.
The husband claimed that for 20 thousand US dollars his father would prepare documents that would allow him to avoid mobilization and leave Ukraine. According to operational data, the official’s son offered similar “help” to other people. During the searches, empty summonses, more than a dozen copies of passports of men of military age, and cash in various currencies were found and confiscated.
The DBI detained the official's son on June 14 during the transfer of 15 thousand US dollars. Previously, he had already received 5 thousand US dollars from the “client”. Searches were carried out at the place of residence and work of the defendant and his father.
Currently, the official’s son has been notified of suspicion of receiving unlawful benefits for influencing decision-making by a person authorized to perform state functions, combined with extortion (Part 3 of Article 369-2 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine).
A preventive measure was chosen for him in the form of detention with the possibility of posting bail of 1 million UAH. The sanction of the article provides for punishment in the form of imprisonment for a term of up to 8 years with confiscation of property. The investigation continues, the involvement in the crime of not only the detainee’s father, but also other officials of the Vinnitsa OMTCC and the joint venture is being verified. Procedural management is carried out by the Vinnytsia Specialized Prosecutor's Office for the Defense of the Southern Region.
