The management and doctors of the metropolitan medical institution who "made" disability for money were detained

Under the procedural supervision of the Prosecutor General's Office, the investigators of the State Bureau of Investigation detained the head of a municipal medical institution of the executive body of the Kyiv City Council, as well as two heads of departments - psychiatric and reception departments.

According to the investigation, officials organized a scheme to fictitiously establish disability groups for conscripts who sought to avoid mobilization and travel abroad under the guise of persons with disabilities.

The scheme included falsifying documents regarding alleged inpatient treatment, preparing medical conclusions, and the subsequent decision of the Medical and Social Expert Commission (MSEC) to establish a second disability group.

The detention under Article 208 of the Criminal Procedure Code of Ukraine took place immediately after the head of the institution received the last part of the illegal benefit in the amount of 5 thousand US dollars for "registering" disability. The total documented amount of bribes received is 11 thousand US dollars and 4,196 UAH.

Currently, searches are being conducted, documentation is being seized, and all persons involved in illegal activities, as well as citizens who illegally used such "services", are being identified.

A notification of suspicion is being prepared for the detainees and the issue of selecting a preventive measure is determined.

The pre-trial investigation is carried out by investigators of the Main Investigative Department of the State Bureau of Investigation with operational support of the State Bureau of Investigation.

Note: according to Article 62 of the Constitution of Ukraine, a person is presumed innocent of committing a crime and cannot be subjected to criminal punishment until his guilt is proven in accordance with the law and established by a court verdict.
