Prosecutors of specialized military prosecution offices continue their systematic work to uncover crimes related to mobilization measures. In July, dozens of cases of abuse were documented - from banal bribes to organized schemes of fictitious employment in critical infrastructure.

In Lviv region, the activities of the leaders of a state enterprise in critical infrastructure were halted, who, for money, registered conscripts "for work" to secure exemptions from mobilization and embezzled their accrued salaries. Twelve searches were conducted, documentation, bank cards, and digital media were seized. After analyzing the evidence, the issue of suspicions will be resolved.

In Odesa region, a lawyer and the deputy director of a company were exposed for providing fictitious exemptions at a critically important institution for the economy for $19,500 and 115,000 UAH. All individuals involved have already been notified of suspicion under Articles 368 and 114-1 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.

Two residents of Lutsk district organized a scheme for the illegal departure of men abroad – for $6,200, they smuggled conscripts to Romania bypassing border checkpoints. The smugglers have been detained. During the searches, a car, cash, and other physical evidence were seized. They have been notified of suspicion under part 3 of Article 332 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. The identification of other participants in the scheme is ongoing.

In total, in July, specialized military prosecutors, in coordination with other law enforcement agencies, notified more than 40 individuals of suspicion in criminal proceedings of this category. Eleven officials from the Territorial Center for Recruitment and Social Support (TCRSS) have been held accountable, including five unit leaders, as well as an official from the military medical commission. The amount of documented illegal benefits is $132,000 and 280,000 UAH. Additionally, during the searches, an extra $400,000, €28,000, and 469,000 UAH were seized, the origin of which is being established.

- The head of the social work group of the Kropyvnytskyi district territorial center for recruitment and social support has been notified of suspicion for demanding $1,000 to register a conscript, who had issues with timely submission of military registration data, without declaring him wanted.

Prosecutors in the field of defense will continue to systematically respond to attempts to disrupt mobilization, uncover schemes for the illegal departure of men abroad, and hold accountable both the organizers and their accomplices. Such schemes will not go unnoticed. They have and will have appropriate legal consequences.
