"The Security Service has uncovered new evidence of corrupt activities of the head of the Bucha RTC and JV. In August this year, with the assistance of the leadership of the Ministry of Defense and the Land Forces Command, he was detained on suspicion of organizing schemes for evaders," the SBU said in a statement. 

According to the case, the official, together with two accomplices, offered conscripts to avoid conscription on the basis of fictitious conclusions of the military medical commission about "poor health".

During the searches of the defendants' residences and cars, more than USD 1.2 million was found.

Almost half of this amount was found in specially equipped caches under the floor and behind the wall paneling in the house of the Bucha TCC official.

After the detention of the defendant, the court decided to release him on bail of UAH 1 million.

However, immediately after posting the appropriate amount of bail, SBU investigators notified the official of a new suspicion, which prevented him from being released.

This time, according to the SBU military counterintelligence, the criminal actions were classified under Art. 368-5 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (illegal enrichment).

A custodial measure of restraint in the form of detention with the right to be released on bail in the amount of UAH 18 million has been imposed on him.

The investigation is ongoing. The head of the Bucha TCC faces up to 10 years in prison.

In total, more than 30 searches were conducted in the framework of the criminal proceedings, which resulted in the discovery of unregistered weapons, ammunition, fake documents of the TCC and VLC for dozens of fugitives.

Addendum

The heads of the Boryspil and Bucha TCCs and their accomplice were exposed and detained in a scheme to evade mobilization - more than $1 million was seized during searches. 

As UNN has learned from its own sources, these are the head of the Bucha district TEC Leonid Vykochko and the head of the Boryspil TEC Serhiy Rusin.

Thirty-three searches were conducted at the TCC premises, as well as at the residences of the TCC leaders, their accomplice, "fugitives" and in the cars of the defendants. During the searches, almost half a million USD was seized from two heads of district TCCs, and more than 600 thousand USD from their accomplice, as well as military registration and medical documents of persons liable for military service.

Shevchenkivskyi District Court of Kyiv remanded in custody without the possibility of bail the heads of the Boryspil and Bucha TCCs and their accomplice, who are suspected of obstructing the lawful activities of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and other military formations, as well as bribery.

On August 19, the spokeswoman for the Prosecutor General's Office, Nadiya Maksymets , told UNN that a motion to seize more than $1 million seized during searches of the heads of the Boryspil and Bucha shopping centers and their accomplice was sent to the Shevchenkivsky District Court of Kyiv
