SBI investigates ‘evaders’: what was found at the head of the MSEC in Khmelnytskyi and what consequences await
The State Bureau of Investigation in Khmelnytskyi is investigating the lists of people discovered during searches, found in the office of the head of the regional medical and social expert center Tetyana Krupa. As informs Socially, these lists include the names of men with specified fictitious diagnoses that allowed them to avoid mobilization.
According to Kateryna Gerasimuk, the spokeswoman of the Khmelnytskyi Territorial Administration of the DBR, all men from the official’s family have registered for disability, which gave them a deferment from mobilization and the right to travel abroad.
What threatens “dodgers”
Lawyer Nataliya Svirnevska explains that all the persons mentioned in the list will be checked by the bodies of the pre-trial investigation. If it is established that the diagnoses were falsified in order to evade mobilization, the suspects face criminal liability under Article 336 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, which provides for imprisonment for a term of three to five years.
If it is proven that the diagnoses were bought for money, the responsibility increases. According to Article 369 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, this is punishable by a fine of up to four thousand non-taxable minimums or restriction of freedom from two to four years, or imprisonment for a term of up to ten years with the possibility of confiscation of property. The degree of punishment will depend on whether people gave bribes voluntarily or were forced to do so.
The SBI also announced the arrest of Tetyana Krupa, who was found with nearly $6 million in cash during the search. She is suspected of illegal enrichment, and now the question of choosing a preventive measure for her is being decided.
The official faces up to 10 years in prison with confiscation of all property.
