Driver fined for ribbon of Saint George and names of Ukrainian cities

Mahilyou driving inspectorate has fined the owner of a Peugeot -308 for Br90 thousand (0.5 base amounts). He wrote ‘Sevastopol Donetsk Lugansk Odessa’ on the rear window and attached a wide ribbon of Saint George to it.

Head of Mahilyou UCP affiliate Uladzimir Shantsu complained about the driver at the beginning of August, BelaPAN reports. He demanded to start a criminal case for supporting separatism and extremism in a neighbouring state. The driver had to stand trial for sparking national, religious or racial hatred, Shantsau believes.

However, Mahilyou police did not see any traces of such a crime in the driver’s actions. They only fined him for violating the rules of using vehicles – attaching a sticker not allowed by the road rules to the rear window.
