Most of the bribery attempts were made by people of military age.
During July, border guards of the 7th Border Guard Detachment of the Carpathian Mountains prevented 14 attempts to provide illegal benefits worth more than UAH 73 thousand.
Bribery attempts were made by persons of conscription age who, in order to avoid military service during mobilization, tried to illegally leave the territory of Ukraine, including with forged documents. Also, travelers who did not provide the necessary documents to cross the border.
In all cases, border guards reported the offenders to the competent authorities. The State Border Guard Service of Ukraine has zero tolerance for corruption.
Liability for the offense is provided for in Article 369 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine “Offer, promise or giving of an unlawful benefit to an official”.
