An employee of the territorial center for recruitment and social support used his service weapon and threatened the State Bureau of Investigation officers who were conducting searches.
This was reported by the SBI press service.
The bureau explained that they had exposed employees of the Odesa District Territorial Center for Recruitment and Social Support who detained men at checkpoints and demanded money for a deferral from mobilization.
They stopped the men at checkpoints in the region, recorded their personal data and informed them that they planned to bring them to the TCC for mobilization, but in exchange for USD 4,500, the defendants promised to release the men and help them with the registration of a deferral. If they refused to pay, they threatened to put them on the wanted list.
One of the intermediaries was detained on November 21 while receiving money for the service. He was notified of suspicion of receiving an undue advantage by an official.
The shooter was detained and served with a notice of suspicion of attempted murder of law enforcement officers, for which he could face life imprisonment.
Earlier, the Security Service of Ukraine and the National Police detained two heads of city hospital departments and the secretary of the head of the local medical and social expert commission in Odesa.
In total, the SBU reported that law enforcement officers had dismantled three schemes to evade mobilization and illegally travel abroad by men of military age. In addition to Odesa region, doctors were also detained in Lviv and Kyiv region.
In October, the State Bureau of Investigation reported exposing an organized group of doctors who helped healthy men of conscription age obtain medical documents that allowed the medical and social expert commission to declare them unfit for service.
