In Kharkiv, a corruption scheme was uncovered involving the transfer of soldiers to the rear: details of the case.

Corruption scheme in Kharkiv

According to inkorr.com: A corruption scheme was discovered in Kharkiv that allowed 'transferring' soldiers from combat units to rear units. Officials of the military medical commission took bribes for declaring military personnel 'partially unfit for service' and transferring them to the rear. The cost of such 'services' ranged from 3,000 to 15,000 US dollars, depending on the connections or financial situation of the clients.

Among those detained were two officials: one worked in the Kharkiv region, and the other in Dnipropetrovsk. Law enforcement seized a significant amount of money, forged documents, and substances resembling drugs, which were used to issue fictitious medical certificates. Recently, a staff member was detained in Kharkiv for attracting clients to this corruption scheme.

The investigation revealed that the issuance of forged medical certificates was accompanied by illegal receipt of funds. Also found were documents and seals indicating large-scale corruption in the medical support of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. It is particularly alarming that such actions can significantly undermine the defense capability of the country, as individuals who received fake medical certificates through corruption schemes may end up in combat units.

This case highlights the seriousness of the corruption problem in the military medical support system, which can have severe consequences for the country's security. The next steps of law enforcement may lead to even deeper investigations and the detention of new individuals involved in this disgraceful scheme.
