Details

The police found out that to implement his criminal plan, the defendant opened an enterprise that provided passenger and freight transportation services. This gave him the opportunity to enter the necessary data of fugitives into the information system for unimpeded travel to European countries.
To avoid detection, the offender re-registered the vehicle every two weeks to change the license plates
It is noted that to establish the functioning of the scheme, the organizer involved several other accomplices in the illegal activity, each of whom was responsible for his own area of work: searching for those who wanted to avoid mobilization and illegally leave Ukraine, organizing the departure of evaders, providing legal and accounting support.
The group's organizer estimated his "services" at USD 8000, which he then distributed among his accomplices.
On November 21, during a special operation, law enforcement officers with the force support of KORD special forces and a company of special police detained the organizer while he was receiving the second tranche of USD 4000. Earlier, police documented the fact that he received another $4,000. He and another suspect were detained in accordance with Article 208 of the Criminal Procedure Code of Ukraine
Addendum
The detainees were served a notice of suspicion under Part 3 of Article 28, Part 3 of Article 332 (Illegal transportation of persons across the state border of Ukraine) of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. The issue of choosing a measure of restraint is being decided.

Procedural guidance in the proceedings is provided by the Ternopil Regional Prosecutor's Office. The operations were conducted jointly with the regional office of the Security Service of Ukraine.
As a reminder,
the Security Service of Ukraine exposed three more schemes to evade mobilization of men in Cherkasy, Odesa and Lviv. Among the detainees is a former insurance agent who sold "medical certificates" to evade the draft.
