Ukraine's Security Service (SBU) has detained a senior official from the State Customs Service on suspicion of accepting bribes totaling $25,000. The official is accused of trading jobs for conscripts and facilitating university admissions for a fee.

The official allegedly accepted bribes for employing conscripts into the State Customs Service, which would then facilitate deferment from mobilization. He also reportedly facilitated university admissions for applicants using personal connections with university leadership, with each 'service' costing $25,000 USD. The detainee faces up to 12 years in prison.
