A series of arrests took place in Lviv today, shocking local society. According to the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU), former prosecutor Ilnytskyi, who was wanted on suspicion of official forgery, was detained during a special operation. His mother-in-law, a lawyer with extensive experience, was detained with him.
Rostyslav Ilnytskyi was put on the wanted list on suspicion of forging documents, and his mother-in-law, a lawyer, is suspected of organizing “schemes for tax evaders.” The SBU reports this.
As it became known from our own sources, we are talking about former prosecutor Rostyslav Ilnytskyi, who last year had a magnificent wedding with former SBI employee Roksolana Moskva, to which more than 800 guests were invited.
"Employees of the Security Service of Ukraine and the Prosecutor's Office have dismantled another scheme to evade mobilization, which operated in the western regions of Ukraine. As a result of comprehensive measures in the Lviv region, the organizer of the scheme, a local lawyer, was detained. During searches of her house, her son-in-law, a former prosecutor, who had been wanted for almost a year on suspicion of forging documents, was also detained," the report says.
The SBU reports that, according to the case materials, the lawyer acted as part of a criminal group, which involved officials of medical institutions and the regional MSEK, as well as employees of the CCC and the Lviv Region Joint Venture.
“According to available data, the cost of the attackers’ services amounted to up to 12 thousand US dollars per person, and in total they managed to “earn” almost half a million US dollars. The “scheme” operated in the Lviv and Ivano-Frankivsk regions. Together with her accomplices, the lawyer assisted the evaders in updating their military registration data in state registers, and also provided fictitious registration of a disability group,” the SBU informs.
It is noted that this scheme allowed potential conscripts to illegally cross the border of Ukraine.
“Law enforcement officers detained the organizer of the scheme while receiving the first part of the funds in the amount of 3,500 US dollars. During the search of the suspect in her handbag, almost 1.5 million in the equivalent of hryvnias were found. In addition, draft records confirming the conduct of illegal activities were seized,” the report says.
Based on the collected evidence, investigators of the National Police informed the lawyer of suspicion under Part 3 of Article 369-2 (acceptance of an offer, promise or obtaining an unlawful benefit for oneself or a third person for influencing a decision-making process by a person authorized to perform state functions) of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.
In addition, the defendant was given a preventive measure in the form of detention.
