Officials caught on a bribe. As the press secretary of the Prosecutor General of Ukraine Larisa Sargan reports on her page in Facebook, the investigators detained the bribe-takers at the time of receiving the money.

They demanded money from the business entity for the failure to carry out the corresponding investigative actions within the framework of the assignment given to them for conducting investigative actions of one of the investigative units.

A criminal case has been opened against them under the relevant article of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.

Recall, as reported URA-Inform, employees of the prosecutor's office of Zaporozhye region on Thursday, January 4, detained the head of Novonikolaevsky district state administration and Novonikolaevsky district council of Zaporozhye region. Officials organized a scheme to extort bribes.
