According to officials, this is the largest cash bribe ever detained in the country.

The sum of the bribe was $6 million USD, of which $5 million was offered to the very person who had to close the criminal proceeding,” explained spokesman Nazar Kholodnytsky. “$1 million was intended for the so-called ‘consultant services’ of the middleman.”

Three people have been detained in connection to the bribe, including a high-ranking tax official.

Officials have stated the investigation is not related to the allegations against Joe Biden’s son Hunter, who used to work for Burisma.
