The Security Service of Ukraine has documented one of the deputy chiefs of Ivan Bohun Kyiv Military Lyceum involved in taking a bribe for admission to an educational institution.

Allegedly, the official demanded USD 5,000 from a resident of the capital. The person “guaranteed” for the indicated amount the enrollment of her relative to study at the Lyceum.

The law enforcement officers detained the malefactor under Art. 208 of the Criminal Procedural Code of Ukraine in his office while receiving a part of a bribe in the amount of USD 2,500.

Now the detainee is placed in the guardhouse of the Central Department of the Military Law-Enforcement Service (in Kyiv and Kyiv region). The issue of serving a notice of suspicion is under consideration.
