The Security Service of Ukraine exposed dealers who sold "consular" documents to evaders to flee abroad

The Security Service eliminated another scheme for evasion of mobilization and illegal departure abroad of men of conscription age.

As a result of comprehensive measures, three dealers were detained in the Kyiv region, who were selling fake IDs of employees of "honorary consulates of foreign countries in Ukraine" to the evaders.

The impersonators entered the personal data of their clients in the "documents" and added their photos.

In appearance, the forgery was of high quality and closely resembled diplomatic certificates of the established model.

Having purchased a fake, the evaders used it to mislead the representatives of the military commissions and avoid conscription.

In addition, the organizers of the "scheme" provided their clients with advice on illegal border crossing using fake documents.

The cost of the entire "package of services" was 10,000 US dollars per conscript.

According to the investigation, those involved produced fakes in an underground printing house, which was organized on the basis of the production facilities of their acquaintances.

SBU officers detained three organizers of the scheme "red handed" when they received money for organizing the escape of the evader abroad.

During the searches of the residences of the dealers and the illegal shop, fake IDs, mobile phones, computer equipment and other equipment used in criminal activities were found.

An investigation is ongoing to bring to justice all persons involved in the "scheme". Perpetrators face up to 9 years in prison with confiscation of property.
