SBU eliminated the channel of "hidden" transportation from Ukraine to the Russian Federation

The security service blocked the channel of illegal passenger transportation to Russia and the temporarily occupied regions of Ukraine and back in Zaporizhzhia.

According to the case file, among the clients of the underground flights were collaborators who tried to leave for the Russian Federation in order to escape from justice.

Illegal trips outside Ukraine were carried out by two buses under the guise of commercial activities of a local motor vehicle enterprise.

It was established that the route to Russia ran through several European countries.

For unimpeded movement on the territory of the aggressor country, the participants paid taxes and fees to the budget of the Russian Federation.

The final "destination" of illegal transportation was the temporarily occupied areas in the east and south of Ukraine, where buses arrived from the territory of Russia.

The cost of a ticket for such a flight was 350 US dollars one way.

The attackers cooperated with representatives of the local occupation administrations to travel through the temporarily occupied territories of our country.

Among other things, the defendants received "orders" from the Russian invaders for the covert removal of their henchmen from the territory controlled by Ukraine.

A resident of the temporarily occupied part of Zaporozhye, who "helped" the aggressor to hold pseudo-elections to the local "legislative assemblies of the Russian Federation", wanted to use such illegal "traffic".

Later, the perpetrator left for Vinnytsia to hide from her relatives the money she received from the invaders for holding a fake plebiscite.

After that, she was going to order a "return ticket" through the involved carriers. However, SBU officers promptly exposed the collaborator and detained her.

As the investigation established, the illegal transportation was organized by a resident of Zaporozhye, who had previously served a sentence for robbery.

According to the available data, the plots "earned" up to 1 million hryvnias every month.

At present, all three persons involved have been notified of suspicion under ch. 2, 3 Art. 332 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.
