In the Kyiv region, the head of a department of one of the district territorial recruitment centers (TCC) and social support (SP) was detained for demanding $4,000 for "resolving an issue" with mobilization. The official promised to remove a conscript from the wanted list and process documents without conscription, threatening him if he refused. This was reported by the Office of the Prosecutor General, writes UNN.
Details
According to the investigation, the official demanded an unlawful benefit from a conscript who was on the wanted list. For $4,000, he promised to remove the man from the wanted list, update his military registration data, process the necessary documents, and arrange for him to undergo a military medical commission without subsequent conscription.
If he refused such a "package of services," he threatened mobilization.
After receiving the agreed-upon amount of unlawful benefit, the official was detained under Article 208 of the Criminal Procedure Code of Ukraine.
