The court removed from office and sent into custody the head of the Mykolaiv Regional TRC, who is suspected of receiving a bribe totaling $15 000.
This was reported by the Prosecutor Generalʼs Office.
The official was detained on August 13. According to the investigation, he received $10 000 for not mobilizing three conscripts, removing them from the wanted list in the "Oberih" system, and helping with booking.

On August 19, the court remanded him in custody with the option to post bail of UAH 4 million 659 thousand. The pre-trial investigation is ongoing.
