The security service exposed a criminal scheme of obtaining money from transport companies in the state enterprise "Ukrinteravtoservice".
The head of one of the departments of the specified institution is involved in the organization of the equipment.
The official established a mechanism for regularly receiving bribes for obtaining permits for "unimpeded" transportation of goods to all countries of the European Union and other states of the European continent.
For this purpose, he promised to assist in obtaining the permits of the member countries of the European Conference of Ministers of Transport (ECMT) for international cargo transportation.
According to the established procedure, exporters should receive these documents free of charge.
However, this is exactly how the official decided to "earn". He guaranteed not to create artificial obstacles to obtaining the relevant permits for a monetary "reward" from 1.5 to 6 thousand dollars.
The official involved his relative in the illegal activity as an intermediary to receive money and keep its "records".
During searches of both defendants' places of work and residence, law enforcement officers found computer equipment with evidence of equipment and cash obtained through criminal means.
Currently, both perpetrators have been notified of suspicion under Part 3 of Art. 368 (acceptance of an offer, promise or receipt of an illegal benefit by an official) of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.
An investigation is ongoing to establish the offense's circumstances and bring the guilty parties to justice.
Measures to expose and document the crime were carried out by SSU employees under the procedural guidance of the Podil District Prosecutor's Office of Kyiv with the assistance of the Ministry of Community Development, Territories, and Infrastructure of Ukraine.
