Today, July 8, the Zaporizhzhia Specialized Prosecutor's Office in the Defense Sector of the Eastern Region, together with units of the National Police of Ukraine in the Zaporizhzhia region, detained a resident of the region on suspicion of committing a criminal offense under part 3 of Article 369-2 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine while receiving part of an unlawful benefit.

During the investigation conducted by the investigators of the Main Directorate of the National Police in the Zaporizhzhia region, it was established that the man used family ties with an official of one of the Territorial Centers for Recruitment and Social Support in the Zaporizhzhia region to obtain unlawful benefits.

In 2024, he began to demand money from the relatives of a deceased soldier for assistance in the unhindered submission of documents, and subsequently – for the processing and receipt of a one-time monetary assistance as a family member of the deceased serviceman. This "actor" valued his services at 50% of the funds that the family of the deceased would receive in the future.

Over six months, he illegally received more than 1.3 million UAH from the funds allocated to the family of the deceased serviceman.
