A group of individuals attempting to illegally enter Romanian territory was detained in Zakarpattia by border guards from the "Yablunivka" unit of the Mukachevo detachment.

Information about the possible violation was provided by operatives from the detachment's operational search unit. During its implementation, a response team stopped two vehicles carrying 6 individuals - four from Zakarpattia and two from Kyiv region.

Border guards found that two of the detained individuals from Zakarpattia had promised their clients $20,000 to help them illegally cross the border through the mountains. For this purpose, they involved a local taxi driver in their scheme, who claims he knew nothing about the criminal intentions of his passengers. After questioning, the man was released.

Border guards reported the discovery of signs of a crime in the actions of the smugglers to the National Police. Protocols for administrative offenses were drawn up regarding their clients.
