This was reported by the Office of the Prosecutor General.
It was established that the client approached the lawyer with the intention of changing his place of military registration. In return, the defendant offered, for 20,000 UAH, not only to resolve this issue but also to issue a fake draft notice that could be presented in the event of an inspection by employees of the Territorial Military Commissariat and the Military Registration and Enlistment Office.
