An investigation into a scheme in which doctors falsified HIV test results and made false entries in the state information system has been completed in Dnipro. Thanks to this, conscripts were removed from military registration and granted the right to travel abroad.
According to cyber police, the scheme involved employees of one of the RTCCs and SPs and doctors from the AIDS prevention and control department of one of the Dnipro hospitals. For money, they entered false information about at least 15 men into the “Monitoring of Socially Significant Diseases” system. After that, the “clients” received grounds for “unfit” status, removal from military registration, and travel abroad.
The investigation began after the revelations early last year. As part of the proceedings, law enforcement officers conducted 58 searches and seized computer equipment, medical documentation, and other materials that, according to the investigation, confirm falsifications and work with an electronic system.
Currently, indictments against nine participants in the scheme have been sent to court. They are charged, in particular, with obstructing the lawful activities of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and other military formations, unauthorized actions with information in automated systems, official forgery and forgery of documents. The sanctions of the articles provide for up to 8 years of imprisonment.
Separate suspicions were also announced against the "customers" of fake certificates. Cyberpolice reports that 15 men are charged with evading mobilization and using forged documents, and they face up to 5 years in prison.
The key link in the scheme was precisely the work with the state IT system, where the defendants entered false medical records using legal access. This turned the “paper” falsification into a digital trail that influenced the VLK’s decisions and accounting procedures.
