The head of the Odessa customs was detained while receiving a bribe

The head of the customs post of the Odessa customs was detained while receiving illegal benefits. Investigators claim that the man and other employees extorted a bribe in order to issue a car from other countries without obstacles. For a quick customs clearance, the suspects set a price of $ 30 - 50.
If citizens refused to pay a bribe, the employees involved additional customs control measures and refused to register customs declarations for transport. The scheme could bring the defendants $ 240 thousand a month.
