Soldiers of the 110th Brigade evaded service for money — the commander of the support group was informed of the suspicion

The State Bureau of Investigation reported suspicions to the commander of the material support group of the 110th separate mechanized brigade named after Mark Bezruchko. The investigation says that he is an accomplice in a scheme in which money was extorted from subordinate soldiers so that they could evade service.

This is reported by the State Bureau of Investigation.

According to the case materials, since January 2024, the soldier, in collusion with his superior, the deputy brigade commander, organized a scheme where soldiers who did not want to serve paid money to do so.

Some did not show up for duty at all for half their salary, and some were even given combat pay. The state lost about three million hryvnias due to these frauds.

It is known that more than 50 servicemen evaded military service in this way.

• In December last year, law enforcement officers reported suspicions of involvement in the same scheme to the deputy commander of the 110th separate mechanized brigade. His illegal activities were exposed by a subordinate — he took a bag with 1.5 million hryvnias from the defendant and handed it over to law enforcement officers. In order to take revenge, the deputy brigade commander tried to blackmail his subordinate and submitted documents stating that he had allegedly left the military unit without permission with weapons.
