Over the past day, border guards of the Mukachevo border guard detachment stopped three groups of border violators at the EU borders.

During the implementation of information received from the operational-search unit, it was possible to stop three groups of violators in the areas of responsibility of the border guard divisions of "Yablunivka," "Vylok," and "Luzhanka."

Checking the information provided by the operatives, a patrol stopped a vehicle near the village of Velyatyn, in which a father and son from Khust were transporting six individuals - two residents of Kherson, two residents of Kharkiv, one resident of Kyiv, and one Transcarpathian. For providing smuggling services to Romania, they planned to receive from 5 to 8 thousand US dollars per "client."

During the implementation of preemptive information from the operational-search unit, the border patrol of the "Vylok" border guard division exposed another smuggler who intended to transport four individuals - a Transcarpathian, a resident of Kherson, a resident of Ternopil, and a resident of Rivne to Hungary. The perpetrator planned to receive from 4 to 8 thousand US dollars from his clients. He was transporting them to the border in his own car.

Another group of individuals attempting to cross the Ukrainian-Hungarian border illegally was apprehended by the border guards of the "Luzhanka" border guard division. The three residents of Ternopil were detained 400 meters from the state border during a check based on information provided by the operational-search unit. One of the men paid 3.5 thousand US dollars, while the other two paid 9 thousand US dollars each for their illicit journey.

The detained individuals have been taken to the border guard units to investigate all the circumstances of the offenses and to draw up protocols for administrative offenses. Additionally, concerning the identification of signs of a crime, a report has been submitted to the National Police.

Presently, the operatives of the Mukachevo border guard detachment are meticulously examining all the details surrounding the offenses to determine the involvement of these individuals in unlawful activities.
