Law enforcers eliminated two more schemes of mobilization evasion by men of military age in Zakarpattia region. As a result of complex measures, the head of the district military commissariat and the deputy commander of a terrorist defense brigade were served suspicion notices.
According to the National Police investigators, the two defendants acted separately, but used similar "schemes": in exchange for bribes, they offered conscripts to avoid conscription on the basis of forged documents about "poor" health.
To do this, officials provided potential recruits with fictitious medical reports from the medical examination board on the presence of serious illnesses.

▪️ part 3 of Article 369-2 (abuse of influence).
