The agreement was concluded in the first months of a full -scale invasion of the Russian Federation, when the accused worked as the second secretary on consular issues of the Embassy of Ukraine in one of the European countries. While in a diplomatic institution, the official received "orders" from Russian citizens who wanted to enter Europe and move freely to countries. According to the case file, he issued Ukrainian citizenship for money and gave them a foreign passport.
The official found the customers through intermediaries who were in contact with the Russians on the territory of the European Union. The Attorney General's office said that the diplomat ignored the absence of permanent residence status in Poland and certified documents that did not meet the requirements of the law. He also included information to the Unified State Demographic Register.
The special services check the data on the possible involvement of "legalized" Russians in intelligence and subversive activities. During searches, the Foreign Minister seized a mobile phone with evidence of his illegal activity. The ministerial worker was informed about the suspicion under Part 2 of Art. 332 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (illegal transfer of persons across a state border committed by an official using their official position).
