Ukrainian police uncover two corruption schemes near Kyiv involving gas company staff. Gas company employees demanded three thousand dollars to keep a home connected.
Meanwhile, a state enterprise director requested the same sum from a businessman.
He promised help approving documents and permits for cutting urban green areas. Three suspects were caught in the act while accepting the bribe payment.
Investigators seized documents, draft notes, and substantial cash in several foreign currencies. Suspects face charges, and presumed innocence applies until a court's final verdict.
