It is noted that for a certain amount of illegal benefit, the perpetrators ensured the creation of a fake "medical history," the preparation of medical reports, certificates, extracts on inpatient treatment, and examination results with diagnoses that did not correspond to the patients' actual health status.
Subsequently, these documents were used by the expert team to establish disability groups and avoid mobilization. Both suspects were detained in accordance with procedural order. According to the investigation, the medical director for therapeutic care of a medical institution – the head of the Expert Team for Determining the Degree of Functional Limitation (ETDFL) – and the head of the mobile palliative care department of another hospital are involved in the illegal activity
It is indicated that the police documented facts of the illegal establishment of disability groups for at least five citizens liable for military service. The cost of such "services" reached 2,000 dollars.
Operatives ... detained both suspects while receiving 1,500 dollars of illegal benefit. Earlier, they documented the fact of transferring 300 dollars to one of the medics for the preparation of a medical report as a basis for further obtaining a disability
They specified that the head of the expert team and the head of the department were detained under Article 208 of the Criminal Procedure Code of Ukraine. They were notified of suspicion under Article 368 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine – acceptance of an offer, promise, or receipt of an illegal benefit by an official.
Currently, preventive measures have been chosen for the suspects. Law enforcement officers are identifying other individuals who may be involved in the functioning of the corruption scheme
