Details
Law enforcement officers exposed another scheme to smuggle men of military age across the border, involving two law enforcement officers and a resident of Bukovyna. The civilian was looking for "clients", while law enforcement officers ensured unimpeded border crossing outside the checkpoint on the border of Ivano-Frankivsk and Chernivtsi regions.
For $7,000, the men were transported by car past the checkpoints to the state border. Then they were given detailed instructions on how to cross the border with Romania on foot. They were taught how to behave and what to say in case of detention by border guards.
It is reported that in August 2024, they smuggled their first client. Since then, they have managed to smuggle at least 3 people.
The defendants were served a notice of suspicion of organizing illegal transportation of persons across the state border of Ukraine (Part 3 of Art. 332 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine). The court imposed on them custody as a measure of restraint with the possibility of bail in the amount of UAH 242 thousand.
During the searches of the defendants' residences, money, mobile phones and vehicles used to transport the "clients" were seized.
Recall
Officials of medical commissions and hospitals who helped avoid conscription on the basis of fake medical reports were detained in different regions of Ukraine . The offenders face up to 10 years in prison with confiscation of property.
