Kyiv woman detained over $18,000 draft exemption scheme
Kyiv law enforcement officers detained a woman who, according to investigators, fictitiously hired men for booking jobs and issued them with a deferral to travel abroad for $18,000 .
This was reported on May 25 by the Kyiv City Prosecutor's Office and the Kyiv Police.
The suspect is a 51-year-old Kyiv resident. According to investigators, she promised to help one of her acquaintances fictitiously get a job at a critical enterprise in order to receive a reservation for mobilization with the possibility of traveling outside Ukraine. At the same time, the woman referred to influential acquaintances and estimated such a service at 18 thousand US dollars.
All that was required from the "client" was his documents, bank card details, where the salary would be credited, and $18,000. That is the price of employment. In addition, the salary would have to be paid to the employer every month. The organizer of the scheme did not disclose where exactly the man would "work"
According to the investigation, the suspect initially took a thousand US dollars in advance for her services. But after receiving the remaining amount of money, the woman was detained "red-handed," law enforcement officials say. The case is being investigated under Part 3 of Article 369-2 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine - this is abuse of influence.
The suspect was remanded in custody with the right to post bail of almost UAH 1 million. She faces up to 8 years in prison.
