The scheme consisted of judges of the Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi City District Court of Odessa Oblast issuing decisions on the alleged independent upbringing of a child by the father under fabricated circumstances. These decisions allowed the men to avoid mobilization and leave the country under the pretext of caring for the child. For $3,500, a decision was issued in one court session without the participation of the parties, granting them the right to travel abroad.
