Anti-corruption in the authorities, in particular in areas related to the mobilization and protection of the rights of socially vulnerable persons, remains one of the priorities of the SBI’s activity in the conditions of martial law.
This was reported by the press service of the DBR.
Employees of the State Bureau of Investigation exposed the officials of one of the district administrations of Kyiv, who “used socially vulnerable people for their own earnings.” Officials “sold” guardianship so that conscripted men could get a deferment from mobilization.
“Officials worked with incapacitated residents of the district – people with disabilities and mental disorders who did not have close relatives, but at the same time were not in hospitals and lived in their own homes,” the DBR said. It was such persons that the officials used in their scheme.
According to the investigation, for $10,000 the officials promised “full support”: preparation of documents, approval of decisions and appointment of a guardian of a person who did not actually provide care. In addition, potential guardians were offered additional “bonuses”, in particular, assistance with lifelong placement of an incapacitated person in a medical institution and the possibility of registering housing as property in the future.
To date, two episodes of illegal activity have been documented. The officials were exposed while receiving part of the illegal profit — 3 thousand US dollars.
Three officials were notified of suspicion under Part 3 of Art. 368 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine — receipt of an illegal benefit by an official, combined with extortion, committed by a group of persons based on a prior conspiracy. “The sanction of the article provides up to 10 years of imprisonment with confiscation of property,” the prosecutor’s office specified.
Currently, the issue of choosing a preventive measure in the form of detention with the right to deposit almost 2 million hryvnias is being resolved. The identification of other persons who may be involved in the crime is also underway.
In addition, the Security Service of Ukraine, together with the State Bureau of Investigation and the National Police, exposed eight new schemes for evading mobilization.
It will be recalled that the SBU exposed an agent of the GRU of the Russian Federation, who was “spoofing” the locations of the Defense Forces in Kramatorsk.
A fake “dobrobat” was also exposed in Vinnytsia.
