In Volyn, a church rector was exposed for promising to help a conscript avoid mobilization for a large sum of money. The priest wanted to do this through a fictitious ordination as a deacon.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This was reported by Yulia Shevchenko, spokeswoman for the Special Prosecutor’s Office for Defense of the Western Region, in a comment<\/a> to Zaxid.net.<\/p>\n

According to her, a 45-year-old priest from the Volodymyr district demanded $10,000 for a “service” that included removing a man from the “Oberig” registry.<\/p>\n

“To give such an ordination the appearance of a real one, the priest suggested purchasing special clothing, and also recommended studying certain biblical texts. He received part of the bribe in the amount of 80 thousand UAH on a bank card, the rest – 8 thousand dollars – in cash during a personal meeting,” Shevchenko said.<\/p>\n

During searches of the priest’s apartment and cars, bank cards, phones, and other evidence were found. He was charged under Part 3 of Article 369-2 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. This article provides for up to 8 years of imprisonment with confiscation of property. Currently, the court has chosen a preventive measure – night house arrest.<\/p>\n

Earlier, in June, law enforcement officers exposed a large criminal network that was selling fake documents and fake copies of the official Diya and Reserve+ applications to tax evaders<\/a> .<\/p>\n

Also in Zaporizhia, law enforcement officers detained a lawyer who, for fifteen thousand dollars, agreed to produce false documents to evade mobilization and illegally cross the border.<\/a><\/p>\n

We would like to remind you that the State Bureau of Investigation has completed an investigation into a law enforcement officer from Chernivtsi region<\/a> , who is suspected of organizing the illegal transfer of conscripts across the border. The indictment has already been submitted to the court.<\/p>\n
