Fictitious certificates and “evaders”: police unearth large-scale corruption scheme of Central MSEK officials

Law enforcement officers have uncovered a large-scale corruption scheme at the Central Medical and Social Expert Commission (MSEC), where officials, together with doctors, organized the illegal granting of disability groups to men of military age. Using forged documents, they provided fictitious certificates, issued pensions, and evaded military service.

This was reported by the press service of the National Police.

Investigators of the Main Investigation Department of the National Police, together with operatives of the Department of Internal Security, have uncovered a criminal scheme organized by the head of the Central MSEC. He involved his deputy, four members of the commission, as well as a family doctor and an intern doctor from one of the Kyiv hospitals in the illegal activity.

The essence of the scheme was that doctors would enter knowingly false data into medical documents, after which the MSEK leadership would make a decision on disability without an actual examination. In this way, men of draft age received illegal exemptions from military service and issued pension payments.

It is especially telling that even in January 2025, in the last days before the liquidation of the MSEK, the scheme continued to operate. Officials made “farewell” decisions, trying to profit until the last moment.

In August 2025, law enforcement officers conducted more than a dozen searches at the residences of those involved in the case. Documents, seals, electronic media, and other evidence confirming illegal activities were seized.

So far, eight suspects have been announced: the head of the Central MSEC, his deputy, four members of the commission, a family doctor, and a doctor-in-training. All of them are accused of abuse of office committed by an organized group, as well as official forgery.

A motion has been filed with the court to impose preventive measures on all suspects. The Office of the Prosecutor General is responsible for procedural management of the case.

Recall that in June, the National Police of Ukraine and the Security Service of Ukraine exposed a powerful criminal group that was selling fake documents and copies of the official mobile applications “Diya” and “Rezerv+”.

It was previously reported that employees of the State Bureau of Investigation have completed a pre-trial investigation into a law enforcement officer from Chernivtsi region, who is suspected of organizing the illegal transfer of military conscripts across the state border . The indictment has already been sent to the court.
