Numerous cases of bribery among officials have been documented. The cost for "resolving issues" ranged from 1,500 to 1,000 dollars. Those arrested include the head of a regional office, the head of a structural unit and his deputy, as well as the leader of a company that provides professional training and documentation services. During the raids, law enforcement seized over two million hryvnias.
Money was demanded for resolving various matters within their jurisdiction, including avoiding penalties for labor law violations, conducting fake occupational safety training, and issuing corresponding certificates, as well as preparing declarations for hazardous work and proper investigations of workplace accidents.
For instance, the cost of fake training was 1,500 hryvnias, while issuing certificates without actual training cost 4,500. However, prices could vary depending on the complexity of the issue.
Operatives from the strategic investigations department in Ivano-Frankivsk, together with the State Bureau of Investigation (SBI) and the prosecutor's office, detained three officials from the regional labor service and the company leader.
The head of the regional office, the head of the structural unit, and his deputy have been charged under Article 368 (Receiving undue benefits by an official) of the Criminal Code. The company leader is charged under Article 369 (Offering undue benefits to an official), acting as a mediator in these dealings.
As a result of nearly 40 searches conducted in three regions, law enforcement seized over one million hryvnias, 25 thousand dollars, phones, documentation, and more.
All suspects have been placed under preventive measures – detention with the right to bail:

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

The maximum penalty for the offense is up to 10 years of imprisonment.
The measures were conducted jointly with investigators from the fifth investigative department of the SBI, with the support of the prosecutor's office.
