In February of this year, operatives of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau and the Security Service of Ukraine liquidated a large-scale scheme of evading mobilization in one of the city district courts of Odesa region.

Among the defendants in the case were the head of the court, two judges, the deputy head of his office, as well as lawyers and other persons. They are suspected of helping evaders.
