Lviv lawyer Moskva to stand trial for bribe from draft dodger

The SSU and the police have completed a pre-trial investigation into Lviv lawyer Bohdana Moskva. She is suspected of organizing schemes for tax evaders in the Lviv and Ivano-Frankivsk regions.

The Lviv SSU Department reported on February 11 that the case of a lawyer detained for bribery had been transferred to court. This is Bohdana Moskva, who is the mother-in-law of the scandalous ex-prosecutor Rostyslav Ilnytsky. In July 2024, she was detained after receiving $3,500 from a conscript for evading mobilization. The lawyer promised to influence the TCP and officials of medical institutions. She guaranteed the issuance of military registration documents without undergoing medical examinations, and the issuance of a deferral from mobilization.

The lawyer is suspected of organizing a scheme for tax evaders in the Lviv and Ivano-Frankivsk regions. During a search of her house, her son-in-law, wanted ex-prosecutor Rostyslav Ilnytsky, was discovered in the attic.

According to the investigation, lawyer Bohdana Moskva acted as part of a criminal group, which involved officials of medical institutions and the MSEC of the region, as well as employees of the TCP and SS of the Lviv region. The cost of services was up to $ 12 thousand per person, and in total, the participants in the scheme managed to earn almost half a million dollars. She was charged under two articles of the Criminal Code - Part 3 of Article 332 (illegal smuggling of persons across the state border) and Part 3 of Article 369-2 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (acceptance of an offer, promise or receipt of an unlawful benefit for influencing a decision-making by a person authorized to perform state functions).

Currently, law enforcement officers have submitted an indictment to the court for abuse of influence (Part 3, Article 369-2 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine).

Let us remind you that Bohdana Moskva is a figurehead of the EBK base.

We also wrote earlier that the High Anti-Corruption Court removed the electronic bracelet, but extended the remaining obligations imposed on lawyer Stanislav Klymenko until February 28. NABU and SAPO consider him the founder of a scheme for issuing court decisions on issuing a decision on permission to travel abroad for men subject to military service.
