Case story: at the end of August 2024, law enforcement officers detained Roman Yusyk, a 37-year-old headman of the Kamianopolsky district of the Murovany village council, for organizing illegal border crossing by conscripts.
As reported by the Specialized Prosecutor's Office for Defense of the Western Region, as well as the Security Service of Ukraine (SSU), a 37-year-old village headman of one of the settlements of the Autonomous Community of Lviv region is suspected of illegally transporting military conscripts abroad. According to the investigation, the official, despite the restrictions of martial law, undertook to organize the border crossing for the draft evader outside the checkpoints for 14 thousand US dollars.
It was established that for an additional fee of over $2,000, the village headman influenced the military personnel of the district TCP and updated the "client's" military registration data, as well as helped obtain the relevant documents.
While receiving an advance payment of $7,000, the organizer of illegal trafficking was detained under Article 208 of the Criminal Procedure Code of Ukraine. He has currently been remanded in custody with the right to bail. At the same time, the involvement of other persons, including servicemen of the TCP, is being established.
Law enforcement officers did not disclose the name of the detainee, but the media reported that they detained Roman Yusyk, the headman of the Kamianopol district of the Murovany village council. The detainee was informed of suspicion for:
· Part 3 of Article 332 (illegal smuggling of persons across the state border of Ukraine);
· Part 3 of Article 369-2 (abuse of influence and acceptance of an offer, promise or obtaining an improper benefit for oneself or a third party for influencing a decision by an official) of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.
In early March 2026, the Lychakiv District Court of Lviv sentenced Roman Yusyk, who, while serving as village headman, promised the evader to organize his escape abroad and, for an additional bribe, to "update" his military registration data in the Central Military District. The court sentenced him to a suspended sentence, exempting him from prison, and also ordered him to pay a fine of UAH 107,500.
Criminal cases were initiated against Roman Yusyk under three articles of the Criminal Code at once: Part 3 of Article 332 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, Part 2 of Articles 369-2 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, Part 1 of Article 366 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.
Roman Yusyk entered into a plea agreement with the prosecutor. The agreement took into account that the suspect has three children and is the legal representative of a child with a disability, as well as that he donated UAH 100,000 to the military.
This case was considered by Judge Nazariy Nor, who approved the agreement. Roman Yusyk was sentenced to 5 years in prison with deprivation of the right to hold positions related to the use of administrative, economic and organizational and managerial functions for a period of one year, without confiscation of property. However, the prison sentence was replaced with a three-year probationary period. Roman Yusyk must also pay a fine of 107.5 thousand UAH. The sentence can still be appealed.
Persons potentially involved in corruption schemes: in this scheme, Roman Yusyk acted independently.
Assets: Yusyk did not list any of his own real estate in his 2025 tax declaration. However, his wife Maryana declared a plot of land.
In addition, in 2022, Yusyk declared a BMW 1320 (worth UAH 236,800), and in 2025, his wife declared a Ford Focus car (worth UAH 225,500) and an Exdrive Balino 250 motorcycle (worth UAH 210,000).
Yusyk's income for 2025 was UAH 707,511, and his wife's was UAH 809,806.
Yusyk declared $33,800 in cash, his wife declared 13,500 euros.
Persons who should have reacted: law enforcement agencies responded to Yusyk's criminal activities in a timely manner, presenting him with a suspicion.
Scandals: Before the corruption scheme, he was not seen as a figure in other scandals.
