Law enforcement officers searched the homes of the head of the Mykolaiv Medical and Social Expert Commission (MSEC) and her son as part of an investigation into a mobilization evasion scheme. During the searches, $450,000 in cash and a collection of jewelry were seized.
According to the Prosecutor General's Office, the woman hid the jewelry at different addresses. Law enforcement officers found the bulk of the money and jewelry in her son's apartment. He is an intern at a medical school and has Russian citizenship, which was confirmed during the search - a Russian passport was seized from him, which he received before the war at the Russian Consulate General in Odesa.
The SBU added that the head of the MSEK registered three apartments for her son to hide her illegal income.
