Taking advantage of the emotional state of the family and its anxiety, the officer stated that for a bribe he could “arrange” the inclusion of the fighter in the rotation lists, referring to the allegedly existing connections. He wanted 9 thousand US dollars for his “services” and insisted on the urgent transfer of funds “under the Christmas tree”.
The transfer of money took place on January 1 in Dnipro. While receiving an illegal benefit, the person involved was detained.
The military serviceman was notified of suspicion of abuse of influence (Part 3 of Article 369-2 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine).
The sanction of the article provides imprisonment for up to 5 years.

According to “Ukrainian Pravda”, as of January 6, the suspect has not paid a bail of 300,000.
