In Rivne, a scheme to evade mobilization through the MSEC was exposed

In Rivne, the activity of a criminal group was exposed, which organized a large-scale corruption scheme to help evaders from mobilization. The group was created by the head of a local real estate agency and two of her subordinates, who, with the help of 26 doctors from the Medical Center of the Rivne region, received at least UAH 14 million.

According to the investigation, the group helped petitioners obtain fictitious disability certificates for the amount of $15,000 to $20,000. They issued certificates stating that conscripts had serious illnesses, such as problems with the heart or nervous system, which made it possible for men to leave Ukraine. To find clients, the organizers used the contacts and connections of their real estate agency.

The law enforcement officers detained three organizers while receiving $16,700 from another evasive person. During the searches, more than 14 million hryvnias were confiscated from them, which were probably obtained illegally, as well as forged medical documents, draft records, mobile phones and computer equipment with evidence of crimes.

The press service of the Prosecutor General's Office specified that one of the participants in the scheme was detained after receiving a certificate from the MSEC for the 47-year-old evader and transferring $5,300, and before that the woman had already received $11,400 for her services.

Three organizers of the scheme were charged with suspicion under Part 2 of Art. 28 and Part 3 of Art. 369-2 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (receipt of unlawful benefit with abuse of influence). They face up to eight years in prison with confiscation of property.

Currently, two suspects have been remanded in custody with the possibility of posting bail, and another has been sent under house arrest. The investigation is ongoing, law enforcement officers are identifying all those involved in the crime and persons who used the services of the organizers.
