According to the materials from the State Bureau of Investigations, the Office of the Prosecutor General has announced suspicions against a current member of the Ukrainian parliament who organized the illegal transportation of his acquaintances across the border.

As reported by the SBI on Telegram on Saturday, starting from July 2022, the parliament member sent letters in his name to the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine requesting permission for men to leave the country under the guise of drivers who were supposedly supposed to accompany him abroad.

The SBI notes, without disclosing the name of the deputy, that 23 instances have been documented where, based on the parliament member's letters, 18 men of conscription age crossed the state border without him, as he was either abroad at the time of their crossing or had not left the country at all.

Furthermore, at times he required up to 5 drivers simultaneously for his foreign trips. Three of these "drivers" did not return to Ukraine at all.

According to sources from law enforcement agencies, the individual in question is Ukrainian MP Konstantin Bondarev from the "Fatherland" party.
