The SBU detained an official in the Armed Forces of Ukraine who demanded "refund" payments for destroyed Rashist equipment.
The military counterintelligence of the Security Service, together with the National Police and with the assistance of the Commander of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, eliminated the scheme to extort money from payments for destroyed enemy equipment.
As a result of comprehensive measures in the Dnepropetrovsk region, the organizer of the arrangement was arrested - a senior officer in the group who is studying and applying the experience of managing unmanned systems of one of the military units of the armed forces.
As emerged from the investigation, the official demanded from his subordinates 20% of the total monetary reward they received for destroying enemy targets with fire.
In return for his "part", the MP promised the team uninterrupted processing of the documentation on the accumulation of the relevant payments.
According to the case materials, it is almost 2 million hryvnias, of which the person involved planned about 380 thousand hryvnias for the property.
SBU officers documented his crimes and arrested him "on their own" after he received the entire amount of the bribe near a temporary deployment point of Ukrainian soldiers.
Currently, the detainee has been notified of suspicion under Part 3 of Art. 368 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (acceptance of an offer, promise or receipt of an illegal benefit by an official).
The offender was remanded in custody. He faces up to 10 years in prison with confiscation of property.
Comprehensive measures were carried out under the procedural leadership of the Caribbean specialized prosecutor's office in the field of defense of the Eastern region.
