In Odesa, a lawyer is suspected of attempting to obtain 315 thousand dollars from a client — the director of a charitable foundation in Odesa — by promising to influence the course of a criminal proceeding through alleged connections within law enforcement.
After searches in the criminal case, the lawyer offered, for money, to secure a reclassification of the offense to a lesser charge, citing supposed ties to the Security Service of Ukraine and the prosecutor’s offices. At first he demanded 250 thousand dollars, and later raised the amount to 300 thousand dollars.
In addition, for 15 thousand dollars the lawyer promised to restrict access to the orders authorizing the searches in the Unified Register of Pretrial Investigations. On 1 October he received these funds and, according to the investigation, spent them at his discretion.
Subsequently the lawyer continued to insist on the transfer of 300 thousand dollars, proposing to convert the bulk of the sum into cryptocurrency via an exchange point.
On 15 October the client handed the money to employees of the exchange point acting on the lawyer’s instructions and, according to the investigation, unaware of his possible criminal intentions. Immediately afterward the lawyer was detained.
He has been notified of suspicion for a completed attempt to seize another’s property by fraud in an especially large amount (part 2 of art. 15, part 5 of art. 190 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine).
