Rivne TCP official removed draft evader from wanted list
The deputy head of the Rivne TCP and SS was exposed in a corruption scheme. The suspect demanded that a man of draft age pay most of the cost of a Toyota Highlander in order to remove him from the wanted list in the "Oberig" system.
According to the investigation, in December 2025, an official of the Rivne Regional TCP and SS, through a subordinate intermediary, offered the violator of mobilization registration to resolve the issue for a reward. In exchange for removal from the wanted list in the "Oberig" registry and ensuring non-conscription, he demanded payment of most of the cost of a 2013 Toyota Highlander. At the same time, he threatened to create artificial obstacles in case of refusal.
The bribe amount was $12,000. According to the investigation, the official added some of the money himself. The purchased car was registered to a front person, but in fact it was used by a TCP official.
After the vehicle was handed over, the conscript was removed from the wanted list. All facts of the illegal activity were documented by law enforcement officers. They are also checking the possible involvement of other TCP employees in this scheme.
The official was informed of suspicion under Part 3 of Article 368 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (receiving an unlawful benefit by an official). The court chose for him a preventive measure in the form of detention with the right to post bail in excess of UAH 2 million. The suspect faces up to ten years of imprisonment with confiscation of property.
We previously reported that the deputy head of the RTCP in the Odessa region will be tried for bribery.
