The Security Service of Ukraine and the National Police have dismantled six new schemes to evade mobilisation and illegally travel abroad for men of military age.
This was reported by Censor.NET with reference to the SSU press service.
As noted, as a result of complex measures in different regions of Ukraine, 10 organisers of the fraud were detained. In return for bribes ranging from USD 3,000 to USD 20,000, they helped men evade conscription on the basis of forged documents.
Chernihiv region
- The CI exposed a city council member who facilitated the illegal enrolment of persons liable for military service in a local college.
In this way, the evaders were able to avoid conscription as students of pre-higher professional education.
Khmelnytskyш region
- The SІU Military Counterintelligence detained the head of a department of a district military enlistment office on bribery, who was "excusing" conscripts from mobilisation by forging medical reports.
Donetsk region
- another head of a district military commissariat department was exposed, who also "deregistered" evaders from military registration on the basis of fake certificates from the military medical commission.
Sumy region
- two founders of a charitable foundation and their accomplices were exposed for producing fake documents for evaders to travel abroad under the guise of volunteers.
Odesa region
- The former deputy head of the state port and a current employee of the institution were detained for selling fake disability certificates to conscripts. The criminals used their acquaintances, doctors from the local MSEC, to produce the fake certificates.
Cherkasy
- A repeat offender was exposed who pretended to be a military man and offered evaders hospitalisation in exchange for money with fake "serious" diagnoses. Then, on the basis of fictitious medical documents, the men were "written off" from the military register.
The offenders were served a notice of suspicion (in accordance with the crimes committed) under the following articles of the Criminal Code of Ukraine:
- Part 1 of Article 114-1 (obstruction of the lawful activities of the AFU and other military formations);
- Art. 368(3) (acceptance of an offer, promise or receipt of an unlawful benefit by an official);
- Part 3 Art. 332 (illegal trafficking of persons across the state border of Ukraine committed by an organised group);
- Part 1 Art. 366 (forgery in office);
- Part 4 of Art. 368-3 (bribery of an official of a legal entity of private law, regardless of the organisational and legal form, committed repeatedly or by prior conspiracy by a group of persons);
- Parts. 2, 3 Art. 369-2 (abuse of influence).
Penalty
The offenders face up to 10 years in prison with confiscation of property.
