Under the procedural guidance of the Office of the Prosecutor General, the head of the recruitment center of the Kyiv City TCC and SP has been exposed for abuse of influence combined with extortion of unlawful benefits.

According to the investigation, the official demanded and received 3,500 US dollars from a citizen for "resolving the issue" regarding his removal from the wanted list at the Solomiansky TCC and SP.

During the receipt of the unlawful benefit, the individual was detained in accordance with Article 208 of the Criminal Procedure Code of Ukraine. Prosecutors from the Office of the Prosecutor General informed him of the suspicion under Part 3 of Article 369-2 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.

Also, at the request of the prosecution, the court chose a preventive measure for the detainee in the form of detention with the possibility of posting bail.

Within the framework of the criminal proceedings, other possible cases of abuse of influence by the detained official or his colleagues are also being investigated. 

The pre-trial investigation is being conducted by investigators of the Main Investigation Department of the Security Service of Ukraine with operational support from the Main Department of the Security Service of Ukraine in Kyiv and the Kyiv region.

The work of the prosecutors is aimed, among other things, at exposing and stopping corrupt practices that discredit the military management system, especially in the context of armed aggression.

Note: according to Article 62 of the Constitution of Ukraine, a person is presumed innocent of committing a crime and cannot be subjected to criminal punishment until their guilt is proven in a lawful manner and established by a guilty verdict of the court.
