The owner met the “clients” when they arrived in Transcarpathia, put them up in his own hotel and sent them to the Slovakian border.
In the Transcarpathian region, a hotel owner hosted the men in his complex and then helped them cross the border illegally. The State Border Service of Ukraine reported this on Saturday, June 8.
“The man, through social networks, was looking for people who wanted to cross into Slovakia illegally. He met his “clients” when they arrived in Transcarpathia, accommodated them in his own hotel and drove them directly to the border, ” said the report. .
The smuggler and his client were detained outside the village of Novoselitsa, Uzhgorod region. At the time of his arrest, the latter had given $1,000 to the organizer. The transporter will receive another $7,000 if the transaction is successfully completed.
The law enforcers seized the money, transporter’s car, mobile phones and rough notes.
The hotel owner was imprisoned. He was informed of the suspicion under the article on illegal transportation of people across the state border (Part 3 of Article 332 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine). The issue of choosing a preventive measure for the Transcarpathian is being resolved.
Earlier, border guards said how many men were denied permission to travel abroad every day. The number of such refusals increased after the mobilization law came into effect.
