Law enforcement officers searched the house of a doctor at one of diagnostic centres in Zhytomyr, who is suspected of involvement in a scheme to evade mobilisation of persons liable for military service. During the search, UAH 4.4 million was found and seized from her.
This was reported by Ivanna Siletska, a spokeswoman for the Main Department of the National Police in Zhytomyr Oblast, Censor.NET reports citing Suspilne.
According to her, law enforcement officers in Zhytomyr region conducted the searches as part of an investigation into the activities of a group of doctors who helped people liable for military service avoid mobilisation. Among those involved in the scheme was a doctor who issued fake magnetic resonance imaging reports.
"In particular, the police found out that a number of men of military age had not undergone MRI examinations over the past few years, but their medical records contained such conclusions. All the documents were prepared by a 56-year-old doctor at a diagnostic centre. They became one of the grounds for diagnosing them with a disability-related illness," Siletska said.
The searches resulted in the seizure of $80,000, over 23,000 euros, as well as several hard drives, optical storage media, a laptop, a mobile phone and other alleged evidence of illegal activity.
