In the 110th Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which defended Velyka Novoselka, evidence of multi-million-dollar extortion from soldiers has been uncovered

In the 110th Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, which was defending Velyka Novosilka, facts of multi-million bribes from soldiers have been uncovered.

This was reported by the press center of the State Bureau of Investigations of Ukraine.

According to the service, the Khmelnytskyi court has transferred nearly seven million hryvnias, seized during investigative actions in the 110th Brigade, to the National Agency for the Search and Management of Assets.

The money was found during a criminal investigation into extortion from the military. Additionally, a property arrest was placed on the deputy commander’s assets, which he had acquired since the beginning of the full-scale invasion. Among the seized properties are:

• An elite apartment in Odessa, 60 square meters, near the sea;
• A 40 square meter garage;
• An apartment in Khmelnytskyi, 75 square meters;
• Two land plots in the Verkhovynskyi district, near the Bukovel ski resort;
• A premium-class Mercedes-Benz car;
• Bank accounts and securities amounting to nearly 4 million hryvnias (almost 92,000 euros).

An expert assessment has also been appointed to determine the real value of the seized property.

It is worth recalling that in the 211th Pontoon-Bridge Brigade of the Armed Forces’ Support Forces, money was extorted from soldiers who consumed alcohol or committed other violations, while those who refused to pay were beaten.

Additionally, the commander of the 3rd UAV Platoon of the 78th Regiment, Vitaliy Holovnya, shared details of the “outrageous” situation in his unit, where the chief usurped all authority in the company, created favorites who stayed in the rear and received combat pay, while others were in “slavery,” carrying out tasks for multiple people.
