Attempted to negotiate a "green corridor" for five draft evaders with a border guard for $5,000: a criminal case has been opened.

A 47-year-old resident of the border area set up a channel for the illegal transportation of men to Romania and decided to involve a border guard from the Izmail unit. For $5,000, he intended to negotiate with the border officer to assist five men, aged between 20 and 48, in illegally crossing the border into the neighboring country.

This was reported by the State Border Guard Service press office.

The organizer used his own "Mersedes" vehicle to transport them to the designated location near the border and prepared inflatable boats for the "passengers" to reach Romania via the Danube. During the execution of operational information, the perpetrator and five men were apprehended.
