In Odesa, a printer was sentenced for forging documents to avoid mobilization.
In Odesa, a court sentenced a man, who had experience in printing, to five years in prison for creating fake documents to avoid mobilization. He was released from prison with a probationary period. The man acted as part of an organized group, producing certificates, reports, and seals.
The Pereyspils District Court of Odesa found a local resident guilty of obstructing the lawful activities of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
The man was sentenced to five years in prison, but, considering his complete admission of guilt, sincere remorse, active assistance to the investigation, and the defendant's serious illness, the court released him from serving the sentence with a three-year probationary period.
According to the case materials, the defendant, along with three accomplices, established a scheme to produce counterfeit official documents for a fee. Using fake certificates and documents purportedly stating the need for care for individuals with disabilities, clients of the group received illegal exemptions from mobilization or grounds for dismissal from the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The forged documents were sent to clients by mail.
The court ruled to confiscate computer equipment and printing equipment used for criminal activities, as well as to destroy counterfeit documents and seals. It is noted that at least ten individuals avoided military service or were illegally dismissed from service through this scheme.
