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.

In addition, the head of the TRC promised, for another $5 000, to help ensure that the already mobilized man was not accepted into a military unit, but instead was re-directed to MMC.

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.
