The SBU neutralized a criminal group in the Lviv region that “earned” millions from preferential customs clearance of imported cars

Thanks to this scheme, more than 40,000 vehicles with foreign registration entered the territory of our country

The group included Lviv customs officials, three brokers and a citizen of one of the EU countries.

For bribes, the dealers guaranteed the creation of a “green corridor” for the movement of cars from abroad and forged documents for their registration without prior removal from foreign registration.

During the searches, the law enforcement officers found a draft accounting book with evidence of illegal activity and funds – 1.2 million hryvnias equivalent, obtained by criminal means.

So far, five members of the group have been notified of suspicion for:

▪️ Part 3 Art. 368 (acceptance of an offer, promise or receipt of undue benefit by an official),
▪️ Part 4 Art. 368-4 (bribery of a person who provides public services) of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.
▪️ Part 3 of Article 369-2 (abuse of influence).
