A deputy of the Uzhhorod City Council was detained for taking a bribe to help him obtain a deferment from military service.
This was reported by Censor.NET with reference to the press service of the Prosecutor General's Office.
According to the investigation, in return for a bribe, a deputy of the Uzhhorod City Council - the head of one of its departments - promised citizens assistance in obtaining a decision confirming the fact of caring for a close relative quickly and without hindrance. This made it possible not only to receive monthly financial compensation but also to apply for a deferment from military service.
The deputy was detained after receiving $1,000 for the finished document.
The issue of serving a notice of suspicion to the detainee in the framework of criminal proceedings initiated under Art. 368 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine is currently being resolved.
