Region of corruption activity: Transcarpathia.
Qualification: Fyodor Klian's actions were qualified under Part 3 of Art. 368 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.
Status: at large.
The plot of the case: in 2020, the SBU exposed a bribe-taking scheme by employees of the customs post in the Ivano-Frankivsk region. Then Klyan was detained as the organizer of this scheme.
"The scheme of systematic acceptance of bribes by the chief inspector of the customs post "Prykarpattia" and a broker from individuals and legal entities for speeding up the processing of customs documents for the export and import of goods of various groups has been exposed," the Ivano-Frankivsk Oblast Prosecutor's Office said in a statement.
As reported in the press service of the SBU, SBU employees documented the illegal activities of four customs inspectors as part of the criminal proceedings. They carried out more than 3,000 operations on customs clearance of goods and vehicles. According to preliminary estimates, the criminals managed to "earn" more than 3 million hryvnias.
Law enforcement officers detained in accordance with Art. 208 of the Criminal Procedure Code of Ukraine by one of the customs officers and a broker while receiving a bribe for cargo clearance. In the course of authorized searches of the place of work and residence of customs officials, documentation was seized that proves the embezzlement, more than 27,000 dollars and almost 3,000 euros, probably obtained from a corruption scheme.
Today, Fedir Klyan is at liberty and even holds a position at the customs office.
Persons potentially involved in the corruption scheme: in addition to Fedor Klian, three more customs inspectors and a broker are also involved in the scheme.

In 2023, the official's income was UAH 558,559, his wife's - UAH 31,150. The cash savings of the spouses have not changed.
