New evidence has emerged regarding corrupt practices within government structures. Bribes for "resolving issues" ranged from 1,500 hryvnias to 1,000 dollars. Among those arrested are heads of regional departments and representatives of training companies. During the searches, cash amounting to over two million hryvnias was discovered. All detainees have been placed under preventive measures.
The funds were demanded for a range of services that fell within their jurisdiction. This included avoiding liability for violations of labor law during inspections, conducting fictitious training, and issuing certificates, as well as processing declarations for hazardous work.
For instance, fictitious training cost 1,500 hryvnias, issuing certificates without actual training – 4,500, and registering declarations – 30,000 hryvnias. Prices could vary depending on the complexity of the issue.
Operatives from the Strategic Investigation Department, together with the Bureau of Economic Security and the prosecutor's office, detained three officials from the regional labor service as well as the head of a training company.
The head of the department and his subordinates were charged under Article 368 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, while the head of the training company faced charges under Article 369, as he acted as an intermediary between officials and entrepreneurs.
As a result of nearly 40 searches conducted in the Ivano-Frankivsk, Ternopil, and Chernivtsi regions, law enforcement seized over one million hryvnias, 25 thousand dollars, phones, and various documents.
All suspects have been placed under preventive measures – detention with the possibility of bail:

• for the head of the regional department – over 2.9 million UAH.
• for the head of the unit – 2 million UAH.
• for the deputy head of the unit – 1,968,200 UAH.
• for the head of the training company – 400,000 UAH.

The maximum penalty for these offenses can reach up to 10 years of imprisonment.
The operations to uncover these activities were conducted in collaboration with investigators and operatives under the supervision of the regional prosecutor's office.
