📌The State Bureau of Investigations is probing a traffic accident with serious consequences: according to my sources, customs officer Vladyslav Pankiv has been detained; he is the chief state inspector of the Kolomyia checkpoint of the Ivano-Frankivsk Customs 🛃
📌he is suspected of having struck a 25-year-old pedestrian and leaving the scene. The crash occurred at about 23:00 on 11 October 2026 in Horodenka. After the collision, the Volkswagen driver did not render aid and drove away. The man lay at the scene for about an hour until passersby found him and called an ambulance🤬 The victim sustained multiple trauma, a traumatic brain injury, and fractures of both femurs. He is currently in intensive care in a coma 🥲
📌the day after the accident the official went to work. He has been notified of suspicion for violating road safety rules that caused serious bodily harm, and for leaving the victim in danger (part 2 of article 286, part 3 of article 135 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine). The harshest penalty carries up to eight years’ imprisonment
📌DETAIL: sources report that the day before the crash the customs officer attended a celebration and therefore may have consumed alcohol🥃
📌DETAIL 2: the customs officer’s father is Petro Pankiv, a prosecutor in the Horodenka division of the Kolomyia District Prosecutor’s Office, Ivano-Frankivsk region
📌today the court is deciding on a preventive measure for the customs officer ⚖️
