Employees of the State Bureau of Investigation exposed an employee of one of the district territorial recruitment and social support centers in Odesa, suspected of organizing a scheme for illegal registration of disability and deferral from mobilization for money.
According to the investigation, the official acted in collusion with a lawyer who referred conscripts to her allegedly for consultations on obtaining a disability group. After checking the documents, the woman demanded 11 thousand US dollars, promising to influence the decision of the head of the expert team assessing the person’s daily functioning to establish disability. Subsequently, she was also supposed to negotiate with the leadership of the district TTC and social support center to arrange a deferral from conscription.

The court chose a preventive measure for her in the form of detention with the alternative of bail in the amount of 1 million hryvnias. The article’s sanction provides for up to eight years of imprisonment with confiscation of property.
