SBU neutralized 7 evasion schemes: Officials of military registration and enlistment offices and VLK were arrested

The Security Service blocked 7 more corruption schemes for evading mobilization in different regions of Ukraine. This is stated in a message, the text of which is posted on the official page of the special service on the social network Facebook.

As noted, more than 10 people are involved in organizing the transactions, among them are officials from military registration and enlistment offices and military medical commissions. For money, they “helped” potential conscripts avoid military service on the basis of forged documents about “unsatisfactory” health, or allegedly transporting foreign humanitarian aid. The cost of such “services” was up to $9 thousand. The amount depended on the type of “scheme” and the urgency of the “order.”

Thus, in Kyiv, two businessmen were detained who were selling fictitious certificates from the medical and social expert commission on the assignment of disability groups to draft dodgers.

In the Odessa region, the military counterintelligence of the SBU detained a local military registration and enlistment office official who was demanding money from conscripts. For 5 thousand US dollars, he promised young people to “organize” fake medical documents about unfitness for military service due to health reasons.

Another military registration and enlistment office official was detained in Ternopil. Together with three accomplices, he “traded” false documents about “writing off” military records.

In Nikolaev, military counterintelligence officers of the SBU detained a businessman who offered his assistance to a local resident in evading mobilization. For 8.5 thousand US dollars, he promised to “resolve the issue” of issuing fictitious certificates to evaders to exclude them from the “lists” of those liable for military service.

In the Kharkov region, two officials of medical institutions were exposed who “stamped” fake certificates of unfitness for military service and sold them.

Another channel of illegal migration of potential conscripts has been blocked in the Rivne region. It was organized by the owners of three automobile companies that registered evaders as drivers of international flights.

In Bukovina, military counterintelligence officers of the SBU exposed and stopped a truck driver who was secretly trying to take 4 local residents of military age abroad.

Investigations into all exposed facts are ongoing to establish all the circumstances of the offenses and bring the perpetrators to justice. Complex activities were carried out jointly with the National Police under the procedural guidance of the prosecutor's office.
