10 thousand dollars for a “positive” court decision: law enforcement officers exposed a lawyer for a bribe
The capital's law enforcement officers documented the criminal activities of a lawyer, who promised a “positive” decision in the case for a reward.
As it turned out, an acquaintance turned to the lawyer for advice on the choice of position and tactics in the case of the wife's claim on the removal of persons from the right of inheritance, which in the future may lead to a positive decision. The lawyer, having received all the data on the case, induced an acquaintance to provide unlawful benefits to the judge.
For 10 thousand dollars, he promised to help in the decision to remove persons from the right of inheritance in favor of his wife.
During the meeting and receiving the specified amount of illegal benefits, law enforcement officers detained a native of Cherkasy region, born in 1978, in accordance with Art. 208 of the Criminal Procedure Code of Ukraine.
The defendant was informed of the suspicion of committing criminal offenses provided for in Part 2 of Art. 15, Part 3 of Art. 190 - completed attempt to seize someone else's property by deception (fraud) committed in large quantities and Part 4 of Art. 27, Part 3 of Art. 369 - propensity to promise and deliver an official who occupies a position of responsibility, of unlawful profit, for the performance by an official in the interests of the person who promises or provides such benefit, or in the interests of a third party, of any action using the power granted to him or the official position of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.
The sanction of the article provides for imprisonment for a term of four to eight years with or without confiscation of property.
Now the investigators appealed to the court with a request to choose a preventive measure for the suspect in the form of detention.
