Kharkiv Men Charged for Draft Evasion Scheme

In Kharkiv, police reported suspicions of abuse of influence to two men who, according to the investigation, promised to "resolve the issue" with military registration for $8,500.

This was reported by the press service of the Kharkiv region police on September 17.

The suspects are men aged 41 and 43, and it is said that they spoke about their connections among officials of the TCP and SS, military medical commissions, and medical and social expert commissions.

The “package of services” included fictitious conclusions from medical advisory commissions on the need to care for a person with a disability or serious illness, housing inspection reports, certificates from internally displaced persons, and other medical documentation that allegedly gave the right to evade service.

Law enforcement officers documented the transfer of $6,000 and the man's receipt of forged documents.

Those involved in the case face up to eight years in prison with confiscation of property.

As a reminder, the High Anti-Corruption Court reduced the bail amount set for the former Deputy Head of the Kyiv City State Administration, Petro Olenych, from UAH 13 to UAH 12.2 million .

We also reported that the former head of the Khmelnytskyi MSEC, a deputy of the Khmelnytskyi Regional Council, Tetyana Krupa, was given an electronic bracelet.
