Three individuals have been detained in the Lviv region for organizing an illegal channel for military personnel to flee abroad.
Under the guidance of the Lviv Specialized Prosecutor’s Office in the Defense Sphere of the Western Region, three residents of the region were uncovered. Among them is a 31-year-old resident of the Sheptytsky district and his two accomplices aged 31 and 48. They created a channel for the illegal transfer of conscription-aged men outside of Ukraine during martial law.
Investigations revealed that these individuals developed a detailed escape plan for a military serviceman from the Chernivtsi region. They provided him with the means to leave his service location, reside in Lviv, and reach the border crossing point bypassing checkpoints. The crossing was to take place at a checkpoint in the Lviv region.
*The cost of the service was 47,000 hryvnias and 11,000 US dollars.* After the transfer of funds, the organizer of the scheme and his accomplices were detained, informed of their suspicion, and preventive measures were selected.
