Economist took bribes for military deferrals at defense plant

In the Lviv region, law enforcement officers exposed and detained an economist at a defense enterprise who was employing men liable for military service in exchange for bribes in order to receive "armor" from mobilization. 

According to the investigation, a 33-year-old economist from one of the defense enterprises in the Lviv region hired conscripts for money to receive a reservation from the draft during mobilization. The official estimated his services at 3,500 US dollars per person.

Law enforcement officers detained an economist at a defense enterprise while receiving the agreed-upon amount of bribe.

He was informed of the suspicion of receiving an unlawful benefit by an official (Part 3 of Article 368 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine) and a preventive measure in the form of detention with the right to post bail was chosen.
