In Volyn, a CCC official and a former military man organized corruption schemes for tax evaders: all the details of the case
In the Volyn region, law enforcement officers have uncovered two schemes for illegally influencing decisions regarding mobilization and military registration. A CCC official and a former serviceman are suspected of extorting money for removing conscripts from wanted lists and avoiding mobilization.
This was reported by the Specialized Prosecutor’s Office for Defense of the Western Region.
According to the investigation, the head of one of the branches of the regional CCC and SP demanded $2,000 for removing two conscripts from the wanted list and making changes to the “Oberig” system.
The investigation believes that the official assured the men that they could influence other officials to resolve the issue. After that, they could allegedly get official employment and receive reservations.
Separately, law enforcement officers documented another scheme. According to the investigation, a 43-year-old junior sergeant in the reserve of the Armed Forces of Ukraine offered $6,000 for “help” in removing a mark from the register and avoiding mobilization.
The prosecutor’s office noted that the man who sought such “help” had legitimate grounds for a postponement, but the suspect took advantage of his ignorance and fear of responsibility.
Both defendants were detained immediately after receiving the funds. They were informed of suspicion under Part 3 of Article 369-2 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine – abuse of influence. The sanction of the article provides for up to 8 years of imprisonment with confiscation of property.
The court has already imposed preventive measures on the suspects. Law enforcement is currently identifying other individuals who may be involved in the schemes.
The pre-trial investigation is being conducted by investigators of the Volyn region police based on materials from the SBU Department in the Volyn region and the Migration Police Department of the Main Police Department.
The prosecutor’s office also reported that during 2026, within the framework of 68 criminal proceedings, 84 officials of the CCC and the Joint and Joint Committees were reported on suspicion in cases related to corruption offenses during mobilization.
According to the agency, the documented amount of illicit gain was:
- 244.1 thousand dollars;
- 3 thousand euros;
- 373 thousand hryvnias;
- 2 cars.
The prosecutor’s office reminded that, in accordance with Article 62 of the Constitution of Ukraine, a person is presumed innocent until proven guilty by a court verdict.
As reported, the Security Service of Ukraine detained servicemen of one of the district CCCs in Odessa . Subsequently, after the detention of servicemen of the CCC and SP alert groups in the Odessa region , the Armed Forces of Ukraine launched an internal investigation . The heads of the relevant centers were also removed from their duties.
Recall that Ukraine is preparing a large-scale mobilization reform , which involves changing approaches to persons wanted by territorial recruitment centers.
