Editor-in-Chief of Poroshenko's TV channel caught trying to flee to Poland: he faked a diagnosis - court decision

The editor-in-chief of the Pryamyy TV channel, who is associated with Petro Poroshenko, has been sentenced for attempting to flee to Poland using forged documents. This is reported by Law and Business, citing the decision of the Luboml District Court, UNN reports.

According to the document, a journalist with a fake diagnosis tried to travel to Poland through the Yahodyn railroad checkpoint. But border guards found a forgery of documents.

"As it turned out, Viktor M. entered into a conspiracy with an unidentified person to produce documents granting the right to travel freely outside Ukraine. These were a temporary certificate of a person liable for military service and a certificate of the military medical commission. Subsequently, the man received a forgery stating that he was allegedly unfit for service in the Armed Forces because he had severe hepatitis C," the article says.

The defendant admitted the fact of criminal offenses at the trial. He was tried under Part 5 of Article 27, Part 1 of Article 358, Part 4 of Article 358 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, i.e. for assisting in the forgery of documents and using such documents. As a result, the court sentenced the "fugitive" to a fine of UAH 68 thousand.

According to the journalists, it is Viktor Medvid, the editor-in-chief of the Pryamyi TV channel, who is linked to MP and oligarch Petro Poroshenko.

Earlier, Poroshenko himself told journalists  that he and his team should be at the front.

However, instead,  in September 2024, in just a month of war, the MP  declared more than 1.1 billion in income, 125 times more than he earned in the year before the Russian invasion.

In addition to the fugitives from Poroshenko's team, the sons of the leader of Eurosolidarity left for Europe in early 2022. All the time the war is going on, conscripts Oleksiy and Mykhailo Poroshenko have been in London.
