The SBi employees completed a pre-trial investigation of the head of the checkpoint "Odessa Automobile", who systematically received bribes from businesses for the rapid custom clearance of cars.
The bill of indictment was sent to court.

The pre-trial investigation revealed that during the years 2020-2021 the officer systematically received money from businessmen.

The officer faces up to 8 years' imprisonment.

The Office of the Prosecutor General is in charge of the proceedings.
