SAPO and NABU sent an indictment to the court against members of an organized group in the Odessa region that worked within the judicial system and helped conscripted men illegally travel abroad and receive deferments from mobilization
According to media reports, these are lawyer Stanislav Klymenko, head of the Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi court Valentyn Zaveryukha (according to the investigation, he is the organizer), former head and judge of the same court Oleksandr Boyarskyi and Serhiy Savytskyi, respectively.
According to the investigation, the scheme consisted of making decisions about the alleged independent upbringing of a child by a father under fabricated circumstances. These decisions allowed men to avoid mobilization and leave the country under the pretext of caring for the child. For $3,500, a decision was made in one court session without the participation of the parties, which gave the right to travel abroad. In total, the investigation identified 1,040 such decisions.
To conspire, the perpetrators set up a court back office in a law firm and even advertised their services on social media. The defendants include the court chairman (organizer), a judge, a lawyer (co-organizer), and two assistant judges.
As a reminder, Valentyn Zaveryukha, Serhiy Savytskyi, and Oleksandr Boyarskyi are suspects in the EBK base.
