Money do not solve everything: ten attempts to bribe Transcarpathian border guards were unsuccessful

Ten attempts to give illegal benefits to border guards were recorded during November at the Chop detachment.

In nine cases, those were attempts to avoid compliance with quarantine measures at the entry to Ukraine aimed at preventing the spread of coronavirus infection. Neglecting the health and safety of our citizens, the travelers wanted to avoid self-isolation. However, they could not buy the cooperation of border guards. The amounts of bribes ranged from 100 hryvnias to 50 euros.

And two days ago at the checkpoint "Tisa", our compatriots tried to solve the issue of registration of a car for entry into Ukraine without actually crossing the border. Border guards were offered 1,000 Hungarian forints for letting that happen. However, the border guards did not accept the offer and refused to violate the law.

In order to establish the circumstances and make a legal decision on the signs of a crime under Article 369 of the Criminal Code "Offer, promise or giving of illegal benefit to an official", border guards reported every fact to the Uzhgorod police department.
