A colonel of the 157th Umber extorted reward money from soldiers.
A lieutenant colonel from the 157th Mechanized Brigade forced his subordinates to give him part of the reward for hitting targets.
The officer demanded 20% of such payments. He himself was involved in confirming the defeat of the purposes for which these awards were issued. If they refused to pay, the video footage of the defeat "disappeared" or was simply not accepted.
To get at least some money, the soldiers had to give some of it to the colonel. This is the first time that this kind of enrichment program has been implemented.
