Case story: At the end of January 2026, the police, together with the SBU, exposed Lviv lawyer Rostyslav Kaspriv in a bribe. According to the investigation, the lawyer was solving the issue of disability registration for $6,000. The operatives documented his receipt of $3,500.
As reported by the police and prosecutor's office of the Lviv region, in November 2025, a 29-year-old man turned to a lawyer for advice. He wanted to find out the procedure and legal grounds for establishing disability due to his existing illness. During the first meeting, the lawyer offered the client to receive a third group of disability with his assistance.
In particular, he promised to help in issuing a discharge for inpatient treatment without the man actually being in the hospital. He also assured that he could influence the decision-making of the expert team members to assess the person's daily functioning. The lawyer estimated his services at 6 thousand US dollars.
After that, the conscript turned to law enforcement officers and continued to act under their control. It is documented that the lawyer received money for his work twice - a total of 3.5 thousand dollars. Subsequently, the lawyer left Lviv for Chernivtsi region, where he was detained.
