Employees of the State Bureau of Investigation detained a prosecutor of the Chernihiv district prosecutor's office for accepting a bribe. The press service of the State Bureau of Investigation reported this.

The State Bureau of Investigation is preparing to declare the detained prosecutor suspected of receiving a bribe (Article 3, Article 368 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine), after which the court will choose a preventive measure for the official. The prosecutor faces up to 10 years in prison.
According to Prosecutor General Ruslan Kravchenko, the prosecutor in question is the Koryukiv District Prosecutor's Office of Chernihiv Oblast. He was the senior prosecutor in the group of prosecutors investigating the case of illegal logging.
There is a fact. There is money. There is an arrest. Then there will be suspicion, release, investigation and trial. And so it will be with anyone who confuses the prosecutor's office with their personal wallet
