In Dnipro, law enforcement officers deleted draft dodgers from the wanted database for one to two thousand dollars

In Dnipro, law enforcement officers illegally deleted information from the database about individuals evading mobilization, charging $1,000–2,000 per case.

This was reported by Ukraine’s State Bureau of Investigation (SBI).

According to the investigation, two officers from the same unit had access to a specialized database that listed individuals wanted for evading military service.

They allegedly deleted records of those individuals from the database in exchange for bribes ranging from $1,000 to $2,000 USD per person.

One woman has already been placed in a pre-trial detention center. The specific department in which they worked has not been disclosed.

In total, the suspects removed information on over 850 people, meaning they illegally profited more than $1 million between the two of them.

They face up to 8 years in prison.

As a reminder, in Zakarpattia, a local deputy and a known criminal figure were recently detained for helping draft dodgers.

The deputy was allegedly offering illegal border crossings along “black trails” (routes bypassing official checkpoints) for €10,000 per person.

The scheme reportedly also involved an “influential figure” who had sway over border guards and ensured the smooth transport of men of conscription age.
