Law enforcement officers have uncovered new schemes for evading mobilization.

The Security Service of Ukraine, together with the National Police, have exposed four new schemes for evading mobilization in various regions of the country.

This was reported by the press center of the SBU.

According to the investigation, the organizers of the deals demanded from 12 to 18 thousand US dollars. For this money, they promised conscripts to avoid conscription through fictitious medical documents or helped them illegally cross the state border outside checkpoints.

In the Kharkiv region, the SBU military counterintelligence detained a 57-year-old man who was selling fake military medical commission reports of unfitness for service. The suspect convinced clients that he had influence over members of the Volga People’s Commissariat and could ensure their removal from military service.

In the Lviv region, law enforcement officers exposed a doctor from a local emergency center who was selling fake disability certificates and involving acquaintances from an expert team assessing a person’s daily functioning in the scheme.

Also in Lviv, two residents of the region were detained who organized a channel for the illegal export of men to the European Union in the luggage compartment of a truck.

In the Khmelnytskyi region, two more suspects were suspected. They provided “transfers” to the western border, provided instructions on the escape route, and remotely accompanied people as they crossed the forest. If necessary, they provided boats, ladders, and other means for illegal crossing.

The detainees were informed of suspicion under Part 3 of Article 332 and Part 3 of Article 369-2 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. They face up to 9 years in prison with confiscation of property.

Operational measures were carried out by SBU officers in Kharkiv, Lviv, and Khmelnytskyi regions together with the National Police and the State Border Guard Service under the procedural guidance of the prosecutor’s office.

It was previously reported that the Security Service detained another agent in the Kyiv region who worked for Russian military intelligence.

As a reminder, Security Service officers and police officers detained a terrorist who, on the orders of the Russian special services, blew up a car in Odessa on February 16.
