Officers of the internal and internal security and operational-search unit of the Lviv border detachment exposed a Ukrainian who illegally intended to cross the state border.
As the law enforcement officers established, a 35-year-old resident of the Lviv region married a citizen with a disability the day before. In the future, the husband intended to leave our country as an escort for his wife. In order to ensure reliable illegal crossing of the border, the pseudo-fiancé decided to “make an agreement” with the border guard. For carrying out a superficial check of documents for the right to cross the border, the Ukrainian offered the inspector of the “Rava-Ruska” department an illegal benefit in the amount of 2,000 US dollars, for which he received a categorical refusal.
During the immediate investigation, an attempt to bribe a border guard was documented.
The measures were carried out by a joint interdepartmental group consisting of officers of internal and internal security and the operative investigative unit of the State Border Service, employees of the Strategic Investigations Department in the Lviv Region of the State of Ukraine, investigators of the investigative department of the General Prosecutor’s Office in the Lviv Region under the procedural guidance of the Lviv Specialized Prosecutor’s Office in the field of defense of the Western Region.
A citizen of Ukraine was detained in accordance with Art. 208 of the CPC of Ukraine. The law enforcement officers informed the man of the suspicion under part 3 of Art. 369 “Offer, promise or provision of an unlawful benefit to an official”. The sanction of the article provides for punishment in the form of deprivation of liberty for a term of four to eight years. Investigations are ongoing.
