Starting in July 2022, the MP sent letters on his own behalf to the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine requesting permission to allow the men to leave the country under the guise of drivers who were supposed to accompany him abroad

iThere have been 23 cases where 18 men of military age crossed the state border without the MP's permission, as he was either already abroad or had not left the country at all. 

Interestingly, sometimes Bondariev needed up to 5 drivers for his trips abroad at the same time. And as we now know, three of them did not return to Ukraine.

The MP was served a notice of suspicion of organizing illegal transportation of persons across the state border using his official position and forgery (Part 2 of Art. 332, Part 1 of Art. 366 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine)

In particular, the sanction of these articles provides for a sentence of up to seven years in prison. The MP was also served with a request for a preventive measure in the form of detention, which will be considered by the investigating judge. At the same time, searches are being conducted of the suspect and the persons who illegally crossed the border.

Recall 

The SBI has served a notice of suspicion to the former “curator” of the Russian Orthodox Church in Ukraine, who is currently hiding abroad. He is accused of high treason and inciting religious hatred.
