\n- Alexander Yakobchuk<\/strong> - Deputy Head of the Investigation Department of the SBU Main Directorate;
\n- Igor Brika<\/strong> - Deputy Head of the Security Service of Ukraine in Rivne region;
\n- Andriy Avdiyevsky<\/strong> - intermediary and \u00abcashier\u00bb of the scheme.<\/p>\n

The mechanism of extortion<\/h2>\n

According to the investigation, the officials demanded $620,000 to close the criminal case against Amber Galbin. In addition, they received a daily \u00abtribute\u00bb of $400 from each working pump.<\/p>\n

The scheme operated in the Rivne region. The funds were transferred through an intermediary.<\/p>\n
