Organizers of transportation of military servicemen abroad will be tried
Three men who transported people abroad in Transcarpathia face up to nine years in prison.
As the police established, three residents of Mukachevo, Beregovsky and Khust districts are involved in the organization of the illegal channel. The defendants found men of conscription age trying to illegally leave abroad. The groups gathered three people each and, thanks to their knowledge of the terrain, provided them with the crossing of the border past the official checkpoints.
In January of this year, the operatives of the Department of Strategic Investigations in the Transcarpathian region and the investigators of the Uzhgorod district police department, together with the officers of the military counterintelligence of the USBU, detained three defendants during an attempt to transfer persons to Hungary. For their services, they were to receive a $12,000 reward from one of the evaders.
Currently, under the procedural guidance of the Uzhgorod District Prosecutor's Office, the indictment against three persons has been sent to court. For the crime, the accused can face up to nine years in prison.
