SSU detained head of Lviv medical university expert team for bribery
The SSU, together with the police, detained Valentyna Fedevych, an occupational pathologist and head of the expert team for determining the disability group (former MSEC) of the state non-profit enterprise "Danylo Halytsky Lviv National Medical University" for taking a bribe.
As reported on Tuesday, November 25, in the SSU of Lviv region, a 60-year-old occupational pathologist who provided assessment of patients' functioning to determine their disability group demanded $2,000 from a conscript who previously worked at a state-owned coal industry enterprise.
For this money, she promised to contribute to the extension of group III disability and the issuance of maximum social benefits in connection with the loss of working capacity.
SBU operatives documented that the doctor actually set up a corruption mechanism, within which she traded influence on the conclusions of the specialized commission.
Law enforcement officers are also checking information about the possible involvement of the defendant in the illegal execution of medical documents to evade mobilization. The fraudster was detained red-handed at her workplace immediately after receiving the entire amount of the illegal benefit. During the investigative actions, medical documents with evidence of illegal activity were seized.
Officials reported suspicion of receiving unlawful benefit (Part 3 of Article 368 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine). According to media reports, the detained person was Valentyna Fedevich, the head of the expert team for assessing the daily functioning of a person (EKOPFO) of the state non-profit enterprise "Danylo Halytsky Lviv National Medical University".
Recall that after the liquidation of the MSEC in early 2025, expert teams for the assessment of the daily functioning of a person, or EKOPFO, began working in their place.
We previously reported that the court removed the bracelet from Tetyana Krupa and allowed her to contact her colleagues.
