Quote: "Employees of GBR have blocked another scheme to evade mobilization under the pretext of changing residence in one of the Kharkiv military enlistment offices."
According to operational information, those wishing to avoid service were offered to officially transfer their registration to a military enlistment office subordinate to the accomplices, allegedly due to a change of residence.
Details: According to the investigation, the men did not need to personally visit the military enlistment office - all documents were processed without their presence. After the transfer, they were issued summonses monthly, which allowed them to move freely around the city.
For the transfer to the desired military enlistment office and the monthly issuance of the corresponding summonses, the conscript was required to pay 70,000 hryvnias.
GBR employees detained the intermediary, who had been sent by the organizers of the scheme to collect money from the latest "client." The individual in question was also evading service using a similar scheme.
He was informed of the suspicion under part 3 of article 369-2 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine - receiving unlawful benefits for influencing the decision of an official, combined with extortion. The penalty for this article provides for up to 8 years of imprisonment with confiscation of property.
Currently, law enforcement is investigating the possible involvement of military enlistment office employees, particularly among the leadership.
Quote: "The actions of military enlistment office employees, including management, are being examined. A series of searches have been conducted, including at the recruitment center. Documents on new 'clients' have been seized and are currently under review."
