They earned over three million UAH. In Ternopil, men who smuggled draft dodgers abroad were detained.


In Ternopil, a criminal group was discovered, which for 10,000 dollars smuggled men to Moldova. This was reported by the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine (SBGS).
In this way, seven residents of Ternopil earned over three million hryvnias. They distributed responsibilities among themselves - some looked for clients, others accompanied them to the border, and the third helped violators enter the territory of Moldova outside checkpoints.
It is noted that border guards, SBU officers, and National Police conducted 51 searches to collect all evidence of criminal activity:
Cash, cars, black accounting, etc. were seized. The suspects were informed of the suspicion of committing a criminal offense.
Recall that earlier, employees of the NABU reported suspicion to a law enforcement officer from Volyn who helped a criminal group smuggle men of draft age to Poland.
Additionally, the Security Service revealed new evidence of corruption by the head of the Buchansky District Territorial Recruitment and Social Support Center. In August of this year, he was detained on suspicion of organizing schemes for draft evaders. According to the case materials, the official, together with two accomplices, offered conscripts to avoid conscription on the basis of fictitious VLK health assessments.
Previously, the police uncovered a scheme for illegal border crossing by operatives of the Strategic Investigations Department in Chernivtsi Oblast and investigators of the regional police investigative department. Three local residents aged 33, 40, and 41 were involved in its organization.
By the way, on August 16, several men attacked Ukrainian border guards, took weapons, grenades, and fled to Romania.
