Police detained the deputy head of the Odesa Maritime College while he was receiving $500 from a student.
According to the investigation, the college employee demanded the money for unimpeded reinstatement to full-time education.
The police claim that the deputy head of the vocational college for educational work organized a full-time education for a man of military age who had failed to study to become a sailor. This gave him the opportunity to avoid military service in the Armed Forces of Ukraine. In exchange for a $500 bribe, the official guaranteed to influence the head of the department to which the applicant planned to enter and the personnel department to make a positive decision.

After everything was done to enroll the man and the official received the agreed fee, the police detained him in a procedural manner and seized the money from him.
The actions of the college employee are qualified as obtaining an unlawful benefit for himself for influencing the decision-making of a person authorized to perform state functions, combined with extortion of such a benefit. If proven guilty, the man faces imprisonment for a term of three to eight years with confiscation of property.
The police did not disclose the name of the detainee, but the Dumskaya newspaper, citing its own sources, said that it was Volodymyr Chornovil, deputy head of the Marinesk Maritime College for educational work. The publication emphasized that Volodymyr Chornovil had worked in the police for most of his adult life, and resigned from the force in 2014.
Earlier, police investigators reported a new suspicion against a former traffic police officer who was detained in early August when he received money from an acquaintance who promised to get him a job at the Odesa internal security unit of the National Police.
