This time, the employees of the MREO traffic police in the city of Azov, Rostov region, turned out to be dishonest. The announcement of the settlement is reported by TASS with reference to the FSB’s press office in the region.
When the car was inspected for the registration procedure, non-existent problems were revealed. Workers informed the owner that they had found a discrepancy between the numbered units of the body and the engine. According to them, it was not possible to register a car with such a violation. The vehicle had to be seized and sent for examination.
However, there was still a way out. And frustrated car owners agreed, if only to get rid of the problem as quickly as possible. Employees offered to close their eyes to this violation, subject to the transfer of a certain amount to them.
