Employees of the State Bureau of Investigation (SBI) have completed a pre-trial investigation into the case of the director of one of the charitable foundations and a military serviceman, who organized a scheme to transport tax evaders across the state border under the guise of volunteer drivers. The indictment has been sent to court.
This is stated in the SBI report.
Thus, according to law enforcement officers, the director of the charitable foundations promised to issue a volunteer certificate to the "client" to cross the state border. The man's name was also entered into the Shliakh information system, which allowed him to leave the country ostensibly for humanitarian cargo.
For this "service", the organizers of the scheme asked for USD 6,000, later the amount was doubled, allegedly due to "difficulties with registration".

The cost of the "service" included escorting the client at all stages of crossing the state border of Ukraine with Romania.
SBI employees detained a serviceman while receiving part of the payment in the amount of USD 8,500.
