A scheme for tax evaders was exposed in the Kyiv region: a woman with a disability was selling fictitious marriages for 50 thousand euros

In the Kyiv region, law enforcement officers have exposed a woman who organized a scheme to illegally transport men liable for military service abroad through the conclusion of fictitious marriages.

This was reported in the Bila Tserkva urban territorial community.

According to the investigation, the defendant, who has a disability, offered men to register a fictitious marriage with her for further travel outside Ukraine as accompanying persons. The cost of such a “service” was 50 thousand euros.

The woman was detained by law enforcement officers immediately after submitting an application for marriage registration at the Central Registration and Registration Center.

Investigators informed her of suspicion under Part 3 of Article 15 Part 3 of Article 332 and Part 3 of Article 15 Part 3 of Article 369 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine – an attempt to organize the illegal transport of persons across the state border and providing undue benefits to officials.

If convicted, she faces up to nine years in prison.

A pre-trial investigation is currently underway. Law enforcement officers are identifying all possible participants in the scheme and other circumstances of the case.

We would like to remind you that recently, law enforcement officers have been regularly exposing schemes for illegal departure of military conscripts abroad — from sham marriages and forged documents to organizing illegal border crossings through mountainous and border areas.
