Three police officers in Ukraine have been formally notified that they are suspected of robbery. They are accused of attacking a resident of the city of Nikopol. According to investigators, during the attack the suspects took cryptocurrency and cash with a combined value of more than $68,000.

The headline of the news outlet's report says that shots were fired, the victim was beaten and was forced to hand over the money. The source gives no further details.

The source does not name the officers, say where they served, give the exact date of the attack or its circumstances, or state what penalty such an offence carries. It also does not say whether any preventive measure has been applied to the suspects. For now, the matter concerns suspicion only, not a court verdict.
