A scheme to evade mobilization was uncovered in Donetsk region: judges organized fictitious decisions.

In one of the courts of Donetsk region, a scheme to evade mobilization was discovered. The acting head of the court, his assistant, the deputy head of the apparatus and the secretary helped men of conscription age avoid the draft and emigrate abroad for money.

Details of the case: according to the investigation, the participants organized the adoption of fictitious decisions for three thousand dollars and deprived mothers of parental rights in order to recognize military conscripts as the only guardians of their underage children. Because of this, men of conscription age received exemption from mobilization and the right to leave Ukraine.

Decisions were made without real claims, payment of court fees, and participation of the child care service. The deputy head of the court apparatus registered non-existent cases and certified fake decisions with a seal. The acting head of the court issued decisions, while the secretary was responsible for preparing fictitious documents and court summons.

What punishment awaits violators

The judge's assistant, the deputy head of the apparatus, and the court secretary were informed of the suspicion of smuggling people across the state border, interfering with the judicial system, forging court decisions, and obstructing the activities of the armed forces. They face up to nine years in prison.

The judge who supported the occupiers was informed of the suspicion of distributing materials that justify the aggression of the Russian Federation. For this, she may face up to eight years in prison.

Currently, issues regarding the choice of preventive measures for the suspects are being resolved. The judge's assistant was informed of the suspicion at the end of last year, and after checks, it was established that other court employees are also involved in the scheme.
