A patrol policeman from Krivoy Rog is accused of organizing the illegal transportation of drug evaders to Europe; the cost of his “services” was seven thousand dollars, reports the State Bureau of Investigation (SBI) of Ukraine.

“The SBI officers, with the assistance of the national police leadership, reported suspicion to a patrolman from Krivoy Rog who organized an illegal route for men to travel abroad through Belarus to Poland,” says a statement published on the SBI website.

According to the department, the law enforcement officer determined the route, agreed to transport the men to the border, gave instructions on crossing it and further actions already on the territory of Belarus. According to the SBI, the cost of the “service” was seven thousand dollars.

According to the department, in one of the episodes, a police officer instructed one of the men to take wire cutters with him to cut through the fencing wire, as well as take clothes for camouflage. The report says that in the future the man was to be driven directly to the border, after which the “client” was to act on the instructions received.

The sanction of the article provides for imprisonment for up to nine years.
