Under the procedural guidance of the Prosecutor General's Office, a large-scale scheme of fictitious employment of conscripts through fake private educational institutions was exposed. The goal of the criminal activity was to provide "employees" with documents for reservation and evasion of military service.
According to the investigation, a Kyiv resident registered eight controlled persons of educational institutions, through whom he fictitiously registered men as "teachers" for monetary compensation. The men received documents that provided grounds for reservation from mobilization, although the institutions did not actually carry out educational activities.
To simulate legal employment, the "workers" paid monthly contributions, partially covering taxes and fees, and the remaining funds went to the organizer of the scheme.
During searches in Kyiv and Vinnytsia, computers, mobile phones, seals of educational institutions, documentation, and draft records confirming illegal activities were seized.
The organizer of the scheme, the accountant and three other “directors” of educational institutions were detained. They were informed of suspicion under Part 2 of Article 28, Part 1 of Article 114-1 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (obstruction of the lawful activities of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, committed by a group of persons in a prior conspiracy).
