❗️ SBU detained Medvedchuk’s godfather for racketeering

According to the investigation, the current deputy of the regional council and godfather of Viktor Medvedchuk organized a gang that extorted money from residents of one of the border regions of Ukraine. To do this, the attackers created fictitious “commercial” disputes and then demanded money for their resolution.

It is documented that the deputy, together with his assistant, “asked” a local businessman for $135 thousand. SBU officers detained them “in the act” while transferring the first part of the money in the amount of $20 thousand.

The gang's organizers face up to 12 years in prison with confiscation of property.
