This is written by the press service of SBI.
Officials promised to issue documents for $3.2 thousand. They received the money in three tranches, and during the last one, the law enforcement officers detained the hot deputy head of the medical advisory commission in Turka.
The woman tried to get rid of the money by eating a hundred-dollar bill. The law enforcement officers prevented this. Then other members of the group were detained.
