In Zakarpattia region, law enforcement exposed a large-scale scheme of unlawful removal of those liable for military conscription from records, which operated in 2022–2024 years.
As written by the Prosecutor General of Ukraine Ruslan Kravchenko, it was organized by the then head of Mukachevo RTC and SP and his subordinate responsible for military accounting and drafting. The DBR press service also reported this.
“The mechanism was effectively put on stream. Unreliable data were entered into military records, medical and other official documents, on the basis of which men were deemed unfit for military service without lawful grounds,” the statement says.
For such a “service” they charged from 5 to 10 thousand U.S. dollars. According to the prosecutor’s office, this way at least 1577 people were removed from military accounting, and 1142 of them allegedly due to health reasons.
In August 2024 year, the then head of RTC and SP, according to the investigation, issued a fake act of withdrawal and destroyed certificates, LVK decisions and other medical documents. These are documents that by law had to be kept for 75 years.
However, investigators recovered the necessary information from the NSZU, witness statements, expert results and other materials. Currently 120 people have been restored to military records. Checks regarding others are ongoing.
A total of 17 searches were conducted in:
The former head of RTC and SP and his former subordinate were detained. They have been charged with obstruction of the lawful activities of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and other military formations in a state of special period, committed by prior agreement of a group of persons — part 2 of Article 28, part 1 of Article 114-1 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.
prosecutors will insist on unconditional detention.
The investigation continues. They determine the role of certain members of the LVK and other possible participants in the scheme.
