The officer was caught on a bribe. Together with him the police detained his deputy. According to the press service of the Security Service of Ukraine, it was established on the eve that more than half a year officials received a monthly "tribute" from a merchant for the activities of illegal outlets in the territory adjacent to the military unit.

For three thousand hryvnias a month, attackers guaranteed not to interfere with the conduct of business. The police detained the commander on the territory of the unit during the receipt of another monthly "tribute". His deputy was detained in Kiev, where he was on a business trip.

Now, both are threatened with imprisonment for a term of eight to 12 years with confiscation of property and with the deprivation of the right to hold certain positions or engage in certain activities for up to three years. Now the question of declaring the military suspicion of committing a crime and electing a preventive measure.

Recall, as reported URA-Inform, recently the prosecutor's office detained a group of soldiers for systematic theft of fuel. Servicemen of the military unit stationed in Berdichev were writing off fuel as if they were performing tasks in the ATU zone and military exercises.
