The head of Volodymyrets and the deputy demanded a $15,000 bribe from the farmer

According to the pre-trial investigation, the head of the community asked the director of the agrarian enterprise to give him a bribe of USD 5,000.

For this, the official promised not to initiate at the session of the local council the issue of terminating the concluded lease agreements of land plots for commercial agricultural production, which were used by the company.

In addition, the director gave another 10,000 US dollars to Serhiy Avramyshin, a member of the Sarnen City Council, so that he would "solve" the same issue with the elected representatives of the community.

According to the prosecutor's office, as of October 16, precautionary measures were taken against the men. The deputy is under 24-hour house arrest, and the head of the community is in custody with the right to deposit 205,904 hryvnias as bail, which he has already paid.

For committed crimes, the deputy faces a maximum of 5 years in prison, and the chairman - up to 10 years with confiscation of property and deprivation of the right to hold certain positions or engage in certain activities for a period of up to 3 years.

We will remind you that in Transcarpathia, the rector of the Eastern European Slavic University, Ludmila Nesukh, was arrested for a corruption scheme to place more than 200 "evaders" on bachelor's, master's, or postgraduate courses.
