Fictitious illnesses and millions of bails: SBI revealed attempts by ex-military commissar Borisov to avoid responsibility

According to the State Bureau of Investigation, the former head of the Odessa Regional CCC and the Joint Venture Yevhen Borisov tried to avoid criminal prosecution during the investigation and trials by using fictitious medical documents. The department also stated that the courts repeatedly reduced the bail amounts that Borisov’s defense lawyers later paid.

This is reported by Interfax-Ukraine .

The State Bureau of Investigation noted that a pre-trial investigation was conducted against Yevhen Borisov in 4 criminal proceedings . According to the investigation, the suspect was detained three times due to the risk of flight and evasion of criminal responsibility.

“It is worth emphasizing that both during the pre-trial investigation and during the trial, the accused repeatedly tried to avoid criminal prosecution, in particular by obtaining fictitious medical diagnoses,” the SBI said.

The Bureau reported that Borisov is accused of illegal enrichment in the amount of 142.9 million hryvnias. Initially, the court set bail at 150 million hryvnias, but later it was reduced to 12 million hryvnias. In May 2024, his defense lawyers posted bail.

Borisov is also suspected of laundering 142.9 million hryvnias , obtained through criminal means. After his arrest in May 2024, the court set bail at 140 million hryvnias, which was later reduced to 39.3 million hryvnias. In December 2025, this amount was also paid by the defense.

Separately, the State Bureau of Investigation reminded about the proceedings on war crimes, in particular, failure to report for duty and evasion of military duties . In this case, the court set bail at 20 million hryvnias, although the prosecution requested 300 million hryvnias. The bail was posted in November 2025.

Another case concerns the organization of obstruction of the lawful activities of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the use of forged documents. In December 2024, the court set bail at 402 million hryvnias, but it was later reduced to 44 million hryvnias. In September 2025, this amount was also paid by Borisov’s defense lawyers.

The State Bureau of Investigation reported that all 4 criminal proceedings have already been transferred to the courts of Kyiv, Odessa, and the High Anti-Corruption Court, where the trial is ongoing.

“It is worth noting that during the pre-trial investigation in all four criminal proceedings and at the time of sending the indictments to the court, the Odessa ex-military commissar was in custody at the Kyiv Detention Center,” the SBI emphasized.

As is known, in early May, law enforcement officers exposed the head of the Odessa regional territorial recruitment center, who is suspected of trading in so-called “white tickets” that exempt from mobilization. He was suspended from his duties. According to law enforcement officers, the ex-military officer changed his phone numbers, car, and location to escape the investigation. After two days of searching, Borisov was detained in Kyiv .

By the way, on April 15, the State Bureau of Investigation completed the investigation of criminal proceedings regarding the illegal enrichment of the former head of the Odessa Regional Territorial Center for Recruitment and Social Support, Yevhen Borisov.

In July 2023, a court seized the property, money, and bank accounts of the family of former Odessa military commissar Yevgeny Borisov , who is suspected of corruption and evasion of service.
