In Zakarpattia region, law enforcement officers uncovered a large-scale scheme of illegally excluding those liable for military service from registration, which operated in 2022–2024 years.
As Ukrainian Prosecutor General Ruslan Kravchenko wrote, it was organized by the then-head of Mukachevo RTCC and SP and his subordinate, responsible for military registration and conscription. The press service of the State Bureau of Investigation (DBR) also reported this.
“The mechanism was basically put on the conveyor. For military records, medical and other service documents, false information was entered, based on which men were deemed unfit for military service without legal grounds,” the statement says.
For such a “service” they took from 5 to 10 thousand U.S. dollars. According to the prosecutor’s office, in this way at least 1577 people were removed from military records, and 1142 of them allegedly due to health reasons.
In August 2024 year, the then-head of Mukachevo RTCC and SP, according to the investigation, issued a fake act of seizure and destroyed certificates, VLK decisions and other medical documentation. These are documents that by law had to be kept for 75 years.
However, investigators restored the necessary information based on data from the National Health Service of Ukraine (NSZU), witness testimony, results of examinations and other materials. Currently 120 people have been reinstated in military records. Checks into others are ongoing.
A total of 17 searches were conducted in:
The former head of the RTCC and SP and his former subordinate were detained. They were charged with obstructing the lawful activities of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and other military formations in a 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 remand in custody without alternative.
The investigation continues. The roles of certain members of the VLK and other possible participants in the scheme are being established.
