In Odesa, law enforcement officers exposed and detained an official from the Regional Military Registration and Enlistment Office (RMREO) and the Joint Staff, who is suspected of receiving 300,000 hryvnias for transferring a conscript to a rear unit. The operation was carried out by officers of the National Police’s Special Investigation Department in cooperation with investigators from the Main Directorate of the National Police in Odesa region.

According to the investigation, the suspect, while serving as the head of the administrative department of one of the Regional Recruitment and Social Support Centers, offered a soldier from an assault regiment a transfer to a rear unit.
