As a result of 600 searches conducted across Ukraine, over 60 suspicions have been announced against organizers and participants involved in the illegal transportation of individuals across the state border, the National Police reported on Saturday.
“In just one day, the police dismantled nearly fifty schemes for the illegal crossing of the border by conscription-age men in 22 regions of the country,” - the National Police stated in their Telegram channel.
Among the identified operations are crossings outside of checkpoints, forgery of health status documents, fictitious entries in the information system “Shlyakh,” and others.
“Among those involved are heads of hospitals at various levels, officials from the military enlistment offices, medical and social expert commissions, and military medical commissions, as well as civilians who sought potential ‘clients’ through acquaintances and closed Telegram channels,” - noted the National Police.
According to their data, those wishing to avoid mobilization paid between 5,000 and 22,000 dollars for their “services.” The money obtained was laundered through the purchase of cars and real estate, and in some cases, was transferred to offshore accounts.
“The first stage of the special operation has been completed, and the pre-trial investigation is ongoing. The police are identifying others involved in organizing schemes for the illegal crossing of Ukraine's state border during the war,” - concluded the National Police.
