Exposure of CCC workers in the illegal departure of men abroad and the detection of a fraudster who allegedly helped to free the defenders from captivity
The migration police of Dnipro referred to the court a case against employees of the TCC of Donetsk region. For a certain monetary reward, the defendants of the organized criminal group issued to evaders a temporary certificate of conscript and VLC certificates with a mark of unsuitability for military service.
During the investigation, the police established that the criminal group consisted of three employees of the territorial recruitment center of Donetsk region, including a doctor of the VLC and the head of one of the district departments of the TCC - who was the organizer of the crime.
They operated from early May to September 2022. As it turned out, the defendants organized a criminal scheme that contributed to evading the mobilization of men of call age. Namely: provided the “customers” with the conclusions of the medical commission on evasion of the service for health reasons and produced documents allowing the unhindered crossing of the state border of Ukraine.
In September 2022, law enforcement officers conducted a number of searches in the premises of the TCC, at the place of residence and in the cars of suspects. During the investigative measures, the police seized material evidence that confirms the criminal acts of the defendants.
After conducting the necessary examinations, questioning witnesses and other investigative actions, the attackers were informed of the suspicion and the indictment against the latter was sent to court.
The pre-trial investigation was conducted by the investigators in the framework of the criminal proceedings opened under Part 3 of Art. 27, Part 3 of Art. 332, Part 3 of Art. 27, Part 3 of Art. 28, Part 1 of Art. 366 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. Operational support was carried out by employees of the Department of Migration Police of Dnipropetrovsk region.
Also, the police of the city of Kiev detained a fraudster who promised for money to contribute to the release of the military from captivity.
The woman convinced the victim that she could help the return of her relative from captivity. She valued her services at almost 150 thousand hryvnias. Investigators reported the fraudsters about the suspicion.
According to the acting head of the Shevchenko police department Oleksandr Bogatyrchuk, the woman contacted the police and reported that she had been searched.
“We found out that a resident of the Kiev region, born in 1988, disseminated information among acquaintances about the fact that she was engaged in the exchange of captured servicemen. The victim, whose relatives are currently in captivity, appealed to her for help. The attacker promised to help, and valued her services at almost 150 thousand hryvnias. As a result, she received funds from the victim and disappeared.”
The police determined the location of the defendant. During the search at her place of residence, investigators seized evidence of involvement in committing fraudulent actions - telephone, passports of Ukrainian citizens and their medical records.
Investigators of the Shevchenko Police Department under the procedural guidance of the prosecutor's office informed the offender about the suspicion of committing a criminal offense provided for in Part 2 of Art. 190 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine - Fraud.
