Border guards of the Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi Border Guard Detachment detained a 26-year-old offender who intended to transport his friend to the Transnistrian region of Moldova.

The men met online while playing online games together.

To realize the illegal border crossing, the offender promised his 24-year-old friend that he would arrange everything for $3,000. The resident of Vinnytsia, agreeing to the terms, arrived in one of the border villages and stayed in a hotel.

With the onset of night, the head of illegal tourism was supposed to ferry his "client" by boat across the Kuchurgan estuary.

Thanks to operational information, the implementation of overseas "seafaring" was prevented, and the two friends will have to answer to the law.

Regarding the "tour operator," a notification of the discovery of signs of a crime has been sent to the National Police. The case has been referred to court.
