Under the procedural guidance of the Ivano-Frankivsk Regional Prosecutor's Office, a charity fund manager has been notified of suspicion for organizing the illegal transportation of individuals across the state border of Ukraine (Part 3 of Article 332 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine).

The investigation has established that the suspect offered a conscripted citizen his "services" for organizing illegal exit from Ukraine outside of border crossing points, for which he was to receive 16 thousand US dollars.

In order to give his actions the appearance of legality, after receiving the money, the individual wrote a receipt for supposedly providing "consulting services".

However, thanks to the clearly coordinated actions of law enforcement, it was possible to document these unlawful actions, and the individual was detained immediately after receiving the agreed sum.

Currently, the suspect has been placed in custody with the possibility of posting bail.

The pre-trial investigation is being conducted by investigators of the Main Directorate of the National Police in the Ivano-Frankivsk region with operational support from the Security Service of Ukraine in the Ivano-Frankivsk region and the Ivano-Frankivsk Department of the National Police of Ukraine.
