Moldova has extradited to Ukraine the organizer of a scheme to smuggle draft dodgers abroad
A 30-year-old resident of the Vinnytsia region, suspected of organizing the illegal smuggling of men across the state border, was extradited to Ukraine. Upon his return, he was taken into custody.
According to the State Border Guard Service, border guards from the Mohyliv-Podilskyi Detachment, working together with police officers, uncovered the criminal scheme.
After the man learned of the allegations against him, he fled to Moldova. There, he was placed on the wanted list, and Ukrainian law enforcement officials notified him of the charges in absentia.
The State Border Guard Service noted that Moldovan courts at all levels denied him temporary protection.
Thanks to cooperation between Ukrainian and Moldovan law enforcement agencies, the suspect was extradited to Ukraine via the “Mogyliv-Podilskyi” border crossing point.
“Moldovan courts at all levels denied him temporary protection. Thanks to the coordinated efforts of law enforcement agencies in both countries, the suspect was extradited through the “Mogyliv-Podilskyi” border crossing point. He is currently in custody,” the State Border Guard Service reported.
The man is currently in custody, and the pretrial investigation into the case is ongoing.
This was reported by the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine.
Earlier in Kharkiv, an officer at the headquarters of one of the Ukrainian National Guard’s special operations battalions was notified that he was suspected of organizing the illegal smuggling of a conscript abroad.
The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) notified a Russian intelligence officer of his status as a suspect for recruiting teenagers to carry out sabotage operations.
As a reminder, the SBU detained a woman suspected of working for Russian intelligence services.
The SBU also uncovered new schemes to evade mobilization throughout Ukraine.
