A resident of Dnipropetrovsk region suspected of selling drugs was detained for transferring a bribe to a law enforcement officer
A man accused by police officers of distributing drugs offered a police officer a monetary “reward” for the possibility of avoiding a precautionary measure in the form of detention. The policeman reported the attempted bribery to the internal security of the National Police.
A 36-year-old resident of the Dnipropetrovsk region was exposed by law enforcement officers in the sale of drugs and declared him a suspect. During the pre-trial investigation, the suspect turned to the deputy chief of the investigative department of the police of the city of Verkhnodniprovsk and promised to give him a bribe, $1,000, so that he would not change the precautionary measure: house arrest for detention.
On the corruption proposal, the police official reported to the management and reported to the Dnipropetrovsk department of the Department of Internal Security of the NPU.
