The Security Service of Ukraine eliminated a large-scale corruption scheme to avoid mobilization in one of the district military medical commissions (MMC) in the Dnipropetrovsk region. During the searches, more than 300,000 US dollars in cash were discovered and seized from the head of the VLK at the local TCC.
The press service of the SBU writes about this.
According to the investigation, the official was one of the key organizers of the event. Together with accomplices, she systematically issued conscripts with fictitious medical certificates of unfitness or limited fitness for military service. This allowed men to avoid conscription during mobilization.
The cost of “services” started at 2.5 thousand US dollars and depended on the complexity of the invented diagnosis and the urgency. An employee of the TCC was involved together with a 58-year-old middleman, a resident of the region, to search for clients and update military registration documents.
Law enforcement officers have documented more than 20 episodes of the transfer of bribes to the organizers of the criminal group.
Currently, the head of the district police and one of the accomplices have been notified of suspicion under a number of articles of the Criminal Code of Ukraine:
▪️ Part 2 Art. 28, Part 1 of Art. 114-1, ch. 1, 3 Art. 368 (obstructing the legal activities of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and other military formations, receiving an illegal benefit by an official, committed by a group of persons based on a prior conspiracy);
▪️ Part 2 Art. 28, Part 1 of Art. 114-1, ch. 1, 2 Art. 369-2 (obstructing the legal activities of the Armed Forces and abuse of influence, committed by a group of persons based on a prior conspiracy).
Perpetrators face up to 10 years in prison with confiscation of property.
The operation was carried out by SBU employees in the Dnipropetrovsk region under the procedural guidance of the Dnipro specialized prosecutor’s office in the field of defense of the Eastern region.
Such cases of corruption in the TCC and VLK remain one of the priority areas of law enforcement work under martial law. The SBU continues to identify and stop similar schemes across the country.
