The plot of the case: according to the indictment, in 2016, Svitlana Klyukina, the head of the procedural management department of the prosecutor's office of the Kirovohrad region, demanded and received an illegal benefit in the amount of $6,500 for withdrawing an appeal in a criminal case, with the prior consent of an individual, Serhii Lvivin. In addition, detectives established the fact of forgery and theft of official documents.
The SBU disclosed the details of Klyukina's detention - according to the investigation, she demanded a bribe from a pregnant Kyiv woman. Allegedly, the prosecutor first, using her official position and connections in the police and the court, managed to arrest the woman, and after that - offered her to release her and remove the arrest from her personal SUV for 6.5 thousand dollars.
On December 23, 2015, the intermediary received the first part of the bribe in the amount of 3,000 dollars, and the very next day he handed it over to Klyukinii. After that, the supervisory agency's appeal in the court in the case of the hammer was withdrawn in court, and as a result, her sentence was reduced, allowing her to be released. On the same day, the prosecutor and the mediator received the second part of the bribe, and were detained by security forces.
Literally immediately, Klyukina was released on bail of one hundred thousand hryvnias. Removed from work.
