A man with forged military documents was detained at the border with Moldova: how he was exposed.

A man was detained at the border with Moldova who tried to pose as a serviceman on leave. He acquired forged documents, but his plan failed during negotiations with the border guards.

A 44-year-old resident of Mykolaiv Oblast was stopped by the border guards at the 'Palanka - Maiaki - Udobne' checkpoint when he attempted to illegally exit to Moldova.

The man bought forged military registration documents, an extract from an order, and a leave ticket for 12 thousand dollars on the advice of an acquaintance who suggested he play the role of a soldier on leave.

However, his deception was quickly revealed - he could not name his commander or comrades, and the unit he claimed to serve in had been disbanded.

What is the punishment for attempting illegal border crossing

The man was charged with an illegal attempt to cross the border and the case was forwarded to court. The police are also investigating the forgery of documents.

It is worth noting that in the Odesa region, a man built an artificial pond for fishing without permits, and in Odesa, a customs officer was caught receiving a bribe from entrepreneurs.

At the border checkpoint with Moldova, a man was detained who tried to pose as a serviceman on leave, using forged documents. His plan was uncovered during communication with the border guards, who forwarded the case to court, and the police are investigating the forgery of documents.
