The SBU and the OGP detained the head of the regional military enlistment office in Mykolaiv who was “making money” from draft evaders
The Security Service of Ukraine, together with the Office of the Prosecutor General, dismantled a large-scale scheme to evade mobilization in Mykolaiv. As a result of comprehensive actions in the port city, the head of the regional military enlistment office was detained; for money he helped those liable for military service avoid conscription.
The investigation found that to carry out the scheme the official organized the entry of false information about clients into the Oberig system and also guaranteed their removal from the wanted list.
It was documented that the official demanded 20 thousand US dollars from four draft evaders for such “services.”
Law enforcement officers caught the military commissar red-handed while he was being handed the illicit payment.
Searches are currently underway in the administrative building of the regional enlistment office, as well as at the official’s places of residence and registration.
The detainee is planned to be notified of suspicion under part 3 of article 368 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (acceptance of an offer, promise, or receipt of an unlawful advantage by an official).
The offender faces up to 10 years in prison with confiscation of property. The investigation continues to bring all persons involved in the criminal scheme to account.
The comprehensive measures were carried out by SBU officers in Mykolaiv region with the assistance of the South operational command and procedural supervision by the Office of the Prosecutor General.
