The woman demanded a bribe of 5,000 US dollars and 10,000 hryvnias from a resident of Dnipropetrovsk region. For this amount, she promised to influence the decision of the members of the medical and social expert commission (MSEC) regarding the assignment of the II group of disability to the victim's daughter, who has had the III group since childhood.
