Prosecutors of the Kryvyi Rih Central District Prosecutor's Office have sent an indictment to the court regarding the local head of a charitable foundation for organizing the illegal transportation of individuals across the state border of Ukraine and for abuse of influence (Part 3 of Article 332, Part 2 of Article 369-2 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine).

According to the investigation, the suspect promised a conscripted man assistance in obtaining a fictitious disability for the purpose of further unhindered travel abroad during the period of martial law for 17,000 US dollars.

The man was to be hospitalized in one of the hospitals in the city of Dnipro with a fictitious diagnosis and undergo spinal surgery, which involved complex surgical intervention and the installation of an implant. In many cases, such a diagnosis and operation serve as grounds for establishing disability.

After the medical procedure, the man was to receive the appropriate certificate after passing the Medical and Social Expert Commission (MSEC) and be removed from military registration due to unfitness for service. 

In July 2025, the suspect was detained while receiving the funds.

The pre-trial investigation was conducted by investigators of the Kryvyi Rih District Police Department of the Main Directorate of the National Police in the Dnipropetrovsk region, with operational support from the Cybercrime Prevention Department of the region.

Note: according to Article 62 of the Constitution of Ukraine, a person is presumed innocent of committing a crime until their guilt is proven in a lawful manner and established by a court verdict.
