He took the men who arrived at the TCC outside the institution. The cost of this "service" was 3-4 thousand dollars. For 4-5 thousand dollars, he also helped servicemen who had just returned from the NWC to escape from the reserve battalion again.
During private conversations with the fighters, he persuaded them to escape again, assuring them that he would show them how to get out of the unit's location bypassing patrols. There, his friend was waiting for the fugitives, who would take them to safe locations in his own car. According to this scheme, at least 5 servicemen left the place of service.
