Border guards detained a "businessman" who was involved in the illegal transportation of draft-age people across the border

The State Border Service of Ukraine reported this.

The organizer of the scheme for the production of documents granting the right to travel abroad to men of draft age during the period of martial law was to earn a significant amount of money. He was detained in Lviv while receiving illegal money.

Law enforcement officers established that the 19-year-old Lviv resident promised his client to produce documents for one of the humanitarian organizations in Ukraine. For this, the businessman asked for 16,900 US dollars.

According to the easy money lover, he found this "job" on the Internet and allegedly simply had to take the funds and transfer them to his crypto wallet, and then transfer them to another account. For this, according to him, he should receive a certain percentage.

The organizer of the illegal scheme was detained in accordance with Article 208 of the Criminal Procedure Code of Ukraine. He is currently suspected of committing a criminal offense under Part 3 of Article 332 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine "Illegal transportation of persons across the state border of Ukraine."

The sanction of the article provides for punishment - imprisonment for a term of seven to nine years with deprivation of the right to hold certain positions or engage in certain activities for a term of up to three years with confiscation of property.
