The General Inspectorate of Police warns citizens not to accept payment offers for participating in protests. The warning comes after the fugitive Ilan Shor, located in Moscow and convicted in the bank fraud case, announced that he offers $3,000 per month to those who will set up their tents in the Great National Assembly Square, reports IPN.

According to law enforcement, such actions are illegal and can lead to criminal liability, being classified as incitement to criminal activities and violence. The police maintain that the group led by Shor is trying to involve people in mass disobedience actions, offering them material rewards to express opinions that do not belong to them.

The police remind that the right to peaceful assembly is guaranteed by law, but any deviation from the legal framework, including influencing participants through payments, is documented and sanctioned. Law enforcement officials specify that they will not allow the organization or conduct of illegal protests with the aim of provoking disorder and violence.
