Falsifiers of election were condemned to two years of reformative works

Four dwellers of the Vasylyevskiy district of the Zaporozhye region were condemned by court to two years of reformative works for falsification of results of the election of the President of Ukraine.

Deputy prosecutor of the Zaporozhye region Marianna Vlasova communicated that the Vasylyevskiy district court issued this decision on the basis of the article of Criminal Code on violation of election laws.

According to her words, the guilt of the accused was proved completely.

“They went from Vasylyevka to Dniproprudny and voted with false off-list tickets for several times. On average, every of them voted from 2 to 5 times. Naturally, this was done for material remuneration, although not great one”, told Vlasova.

According to the law, the condemned continue to work at the place of their basic employment, but during two years they must allot 20% of their salary to the state.

Now 51 cases on falsifications of the election are processed by investigating officers of the Zaporozhye regional prosecutor’s office. Six such cases have been already passed to court.
