Law enforcement officers have completed a pre-trial investigation into employees of the Vinnytsia United City TCC and JV who helped men liable for military service avoid mobilization and leave the country for money. This is reported by the press service of the State Bureau of Investigation, UNN writes.
Details
According to the investigation, the organized criminal group was created by an officer of the conscription department of the MCC and JV, which included 2 members of the military medical commission and one civilian. The latter was looking for people who wanted to avoid the draft and received money from clients.
The men were given fictitious diagnoses, which made it possible to obtain a certificate of unfitness and travel abroad. The group members divided the "profit" among themselves.
The doctors and the civilian are accused of illegal transportation of persons across the state border of Ukraine, facilitating their commission by advice, instructions, provision of means and removal of obstacles, committed for mercenary motives by an organized group (Art. 3 of Art. 332 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine), and the military registration and enlistment office official is also guilty of fraud and completed attempted incitement to provide an official with an unlawful benefit (Art. 332, Part 3, Art. 190, Part 1, and Part 4 of Art. 27, Part 2 of Art. 15, Part 1 of Art. 369 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine).
Addendum
It is noted that the cost of one certificate was 4 thousand US dollars. The criminals were active at least from July 2023 until they were exposed by law enforcement in late September.
In addition, during the pre-trial investigation, it was found that the officer excluded customers from the electronic system of accounting for men who had been issued a summons and were required to appear at the TCC for a medical examination for USD 1.5 thousand.
The officer personally deleted the "necessary" people from the database, while not officially having access to it.
