A trial has commenced in the capital of Ukraine against an individual who promised a woman to remove her husband from the search list in the ‘Oberih’ database for 2000 dollars. The fraudster claimed to have connections with government officials who could influence the registry of conscripts. The investigation has been completed and the case is now in court. The offender faces up to eight years in prison.
Recall that in June, police apprehended a man who offered a local resident assistance with her husband's evasion of conscription, citing his connections to alter the registry data.
During the transfer of 2000 dollars, law enforcement officials arrested him in the act.
The investigation, under the supervision of the Solomiansky District Prosecutor's Office, charged him under part 3 of Article 369-2 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine — obtaining illegal benefits for influencing decisions made by state officials, combined with extortion.
Currently, the police have completed the pre-trial investigation, and the indictment has been sent to court. The offender could face up to eight years of imprisonment with the possibility of asset confiscation.
