According to the investigation, the suspect demanded $5,000 from a citizen brought in for verification of military registration data. For this money, he was supposed to influence his colleagues and help the man leave the territory of the TRC.

In the meantime, prosecutors have filed a motion with the court to select a preventive measure for him. The detainee faces 3 to 8 years of imprisonment with confiscation of property.
