Prosecutors have sent an indictment to the court regarding a resident of Ternopil, who, through his connections among officials of the territorial center for recruitment and social support and members of the military medical commission, was supposed to assist in obtaining a "unfitness" for service.

The pre-trial investigation established that the accused offered a citizen to "resolve the issue" of being recognized as temporarily unfit for military service. He valued his "services" at 16 thousand US dollars.

Law enforcement officers detained the man under Article 208 of the Criminal Procedure Code of Ukraine while he was receiving part of the unlawful benefit – 15,200 US dollars.

The actions of the accused were qualified as receiving unlawful benefits for himself by influencing the decision-making of a person authorized to perform state functions (part 2 of Article 369-2 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine).
