This is stated in the investigative story of the Lviv TV channel ZIK.
One of the public activists admits on camera that he personally took part in the rally, as a result of which two officials ended up in a trash can. For this work he was paid 80 hryvnia.
There are organizations that lustrate for money. One of these is “People's Anti-Corruption Supervision”.
ZIK journalists decided to try to place an order for the removal of the mayor of the city of Sambir. The meeting of journalists with the head of this organization, Roman Kutny, took place in a cafe, where he proposed to arrange a win-win option - to catch the mayor taking a bribe. As a bonus, he offered the customer the position of deputy head of the Sambir region. Journalists took time to think about the prices for similar services from competing companies. As it turns out, there are enough of these on the market.
It also turned out that the well-known Lviv civil activist Lyubomir Pelikh organizes and manages garbage lustrations directly on the spot. At the end of the program, the journalists conclude: “If the people’s court is really sold for money, then tomorrow anyone could end up in the trash can…”.
At the cost of garbage lustration. Activist Andrey says that in general, lustration in Lviv and the region costs from 30 to 70 thousand hryvnia. The Ukrainian media mention other amounts - several tens of thousands of dollars. Although here, perhaps, it all depends on the level of the official being lustrated.
In their story, Lviv journalists forgot to mention the main people's lustrators in Ukraine - the Right Sector. Back in February of this year, an article appeared on the Ukrainian website groza-news.com.ua with the title “Patriots-werewolves: what is the Transcarpathian “Right Sector” really like?”
