The Security Service of Ukraine and the State Bureau of Investigation have dismantled a large-scale scheme of evading mobilization in Dnipro and apprehended five of its organizers. This was reported by the SBU press service, as conveyed by "Vydomo".
Employees of territorial recruitment and social support centers, military personnel, doctors, and other individuals acted as intermediaries to find clients and transfer money.
The suspects unjustifiably entered severe diagnoses into medical histories and then issued fictitious medical conclusions about unfitness for service due to health reasons.
The forgery was passed on to accomplices in the TCC, where their clients were removed from military records or granted deferments from conscription.
The cost of such services ranged from 12 thousand dollars per conscript.
Law enforcement officials systematically documented all facts of the suspects' criminal activities and detained five organizers.
