According to the investigation, the criminals valued their services from $500 to $12,000. For this money, they produced fictitious medical certificates for conscript men, formalized disability, entered into fictitious marriages with women with disabilities, updated data in the TCC with a delay, placed them in critical infrastructure companies for booking purposes and also enrolled them in universities, including foreign ones.

“For example, the cost of producing fictitious medical certificates with the commission’s conclusion on the presence of disability groups ranged from $2,000 to $12,000, updating military registration data and obtaining a fictitious right to postponement of mobilization up to $5,000, and a “student ID card” – up to 1,500 euros,” noted the head of the Department of Strategic Investigations of the National Police, Andrei Rubel.
