SBI employees exposed the head of one of the military medical commissions in Dnipropetrovsk region and his colleague from Kharkiv region, who organized a corrupt business based on forged medical conclusions.

Officials recognized servicemen of combat units as "partially fit for service," which allowed them to be transferred to rear units — territorial recruitment centers, military educational institutions, or supply units. The cost of the "service" ranged from 3 to 15 thousand dollars, depending on the level of acquaintance or financial status of the "clients."

According to the investigation, the Kharkiv VVK member sought clients and then transferred documents to her colleague, who was seconded from Kharkiv to Dnipropetrovsk region as the head of the military medical commission.
