A corruption scheme has been uncovered within the Holosiivskyi District State Administration, where an official promised a businessman not to obstruct his six trading points in exchange for money. He faces up to four years in prison for these actions. 
The investigators from the Solomianskyi Police Department discovered this criminal activity with the support of the Security Service of Ukraine in Kyiv and the region.
During the investigation, it was found that a specialist in the department of urban improvement demanded monthly illegal payments from an entrepreneur in exchange for allowing six illegal trading points in the Solomianskyi and Holosiivskyi districts.
In particular, to disguise the scheme, part of the money was demanded to be transferred to third-party bank accounts under the guise of charitable contributions.
However, during the receipt of part of the cash, investigators informed the official about the suspicion under part 1 of article 368 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine — receiving illegal benefits by a public official. This article provides for a penalty of up to four years imprisonment and deprivation of the right to hold certain positions for up to three years.
