The official demanded a bribe from the citizen in the amount of one hundred thousand dollars. As the press secretary of the Prosecutor General of Ukraine Yuriy Lutsenko Larisa Sargan, today the prosecutor's office of the Kiev region exposed an employee of the regional state administration of the Kiev region.

For a huge sum he promised to issue appropriate documents for the rent of recreational land, water fund and unclaimed shares in the territory of Pereyaslav-Khmelnitsky district.

The detainee has already been informed about the suspicion of committing a criminal offense under the article of Acceptance of a proposal, a promise or receipt of an improper benefit by an official of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.

The sanction of the article provides for punishment in the form of imprisonment for a term of five to ten years with deprivation of the right to hold certain positions or engage in certain activities for up to three years with confiscation of property.

Recall, as reported URA-Inform, the police of Kharkov detained three patrols who systematically extorted bribes from drivers for alleged violation of traffic rules. They stopped the car, claiming that the driver looks drunk. Then they took away their rights and technical passport and intimidated them with administrative responsibility.
