In the Lvov region, the owner of a private university was detained for organizing a “draft evaders scheme” at the university, which allowed subjects obligated for military service to receive a deferment from mobilization for money. This is reported by the SBU.
“According to available data, the university owner and the rector’s office enrolled recruits for training beyond the authorized annual volumes approved by the Ministry of Education and Science. This allowed those responsible for military service to request deferrals on the basis of certificates from an “educated applicant.” – stated the department.
It should be noted that during the searches, an anti-tank grenade launcher, rifles, carbines and almost 5 thousand cartridges of various calibers were found in the home of the owner of the university. He is arrested and taken into custody.
In general, the SBU and the National Police, as part of comprehensive measures in the kyiv, Kharkov, Rivne, Kirovograd and Lviv regions, detained several organizers of such plans. Among them, in addition to the management of the aforementioned university, there are also officials from the MSEC and the military medical commissions, as well as repeat offenders. For 5,000 to 20,000 dollars, they helped those who were obligated to military service to evade mobilization based on falsified documents.
The defendants face up to 9 years in prison with confiscation of assets.
