The Security Service of Ukraine and the State Bureau of Investigation in cooperation with the Prosecutor General's Office are conducting a large-scale special operation today.
So far, searches have begun in the Central Office of the State Customs Service and the Volyn, Zhytomyr, Lviv, Ternopil, Chernivtsi, Odessa, Kyiv, Rivne, and Zakarpattia regional customs offices of Ukraine.
About 50 economic activity entities were also established, which helped the customs officers implement shadow schemes. Currently, their activity is blocked. Law enforcement officers work at separate sections of the state border of Ukraine and at checkpoints to stop illegal activities and eliminate smuggling schemes.
After the completion of the primary investigative actions, more detailed information will be provided regarding the commission of corruption offenses by employees of the State Customs Service and the activities of its territorial bodies.
