As we reported earlier, the smugglers on the car registered abroad ran over the Ukrainian border officer on Friday, November 16. He was delivered to a hospital with serious injuries, he was in a coma.
Everything started when Romanian colleagues detained two smugglers and ten packages of tobacco products on the Romanian side of the border. Soon after that, the border guards detained a man in the diving suit - in the Dilove border section, not far from Tysa river. He carried no documents, but he had a lot of money that he supposedly got for making the illegal deal. During primary investigative actions, another unknown perpetrator ran over the head of the Border Guard unit. The Border Guard officer sustained heavy injuries. The ambulance car took the serviceman to the intensive care unit, and he died the next day on November 17.
