The deputy head of the Migration Police Department of the National Police of Ukraine was arrested for 2 months without the right to make bail. This was reported in the Kyiv city prosecutor's office. He is accused of covering up the activities of a group of pimps. A high-ranking official is suspected of committing crimes under three articles of the Criminal Code of Ukraine: art. 255 (creation, management of a criminal community or criminal organization); Art. 302 (creating or maintaining places of debauchery); Art. 303 (pimping or engaging a person in prostitution).
He was detained as part of a special operation to expose a criminal organization whose members organized a network of brothels in Kyiv and recruited women into prostitution. According to the prosecutor's office, more than 30 searches were carried out in places where brothels were organized, as well as in the places of residence of the defendants in the case.
The Pechersky District Court also ruled on the arrest of three more individuals who recruited women into the sex industry for money, including for escorts. "Recruiters" were arrested with the possibility of making a bail in the amount of about 800 thousand hryvnia each.
