The deputy head of the Central Military Medical Commission of the Medical Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine organized a money-making business by issuing certificates for conscripts, APA reports citing Censor.net.

“A number of episodes of receiving bribes by an official for issuing certificates of unfitness for military service for going abroad have been documented.

In one of the cases, an acquaintance who heads a charitable foundation approached the official. His employee needed to go abroad to find and deliver humanitarian aid to Ukraine. The head of the fund did not know the procedure for volunteers to leave Ukraine and therefore asked the deputy head of the Central Military Medical Commission how to arrange this departure.

The official said that such a departure must be formalized by issuing a certificate of unfitness for military service, which is not true. He promised to organize the issuance of such a certificate for a “reward” in the amount of 5,000 US dollars,” the message reads.

According to the SBI, the official received an advance of 2.5 thousand US dollars and began to draw up documents, but was exposed by law enforcement officers.

“During searches of the suspect’s place of work and residence, law enforcement officers found large sums of cash in various currencies amounting to over 5 million hryvnias, the origin of which is currently being established,” the Bureau noted.
