The State Bureau of Investigation began criminal proceedings on the fact of illegal enrichment of the head of the customs post.
The RRB officers are investigating large-scale abuses at the Volyn customs. More than $ 700 thousand were seized from one of the heads of the customs post, according to the agency’s website on Friday, June 4.
It has been established that some officials, for unlawful profit, facilitate the illegal movement of goods across the state border without paying customs duties.
“The scheme was organized by the senior officials of the Volyn customs. The head of one of its customs posts systematically collected and accumulated the money received, some of which he distributed among other law enforcement agencies,” the statement says.
As specifies Censor.NO with reference to sources in the RRB, we are talking about the Yagodin customs post.
Investigators searched the official’s car in the Rivne region and seized $ 704.3 thousand.
