SSU and National Police expose head of Kyiv City State Administration’s department on fake disability status
The SSU and the National Police investigators have uncovered that the Director of the Department of Social and Veteran Policy of Kyiv City State Administration had unlawfully obtained the 2nd disability group.
In 2022, the official submitted to one of the Kyiv’s medical and social expert commissions forged medical certificates about his diagnosis, which is not true, as well as fake ‘extracts from the medical record’ that supposedly certified his stay in hospital.
This allowed him to be unfairly granted the second category of disability, which not only guaranteed an exemption from military service, but also entitled him to state disability benefits.
The investigation found that since 2022 the official had received almost UAH 300,000 of social support as a person with a disability.
The official has been served a notice of suspicion under the Articles of the CCU:
- 358.3, 358.4 (forgery of documents, seals, stamps and forms, sale or use of forged documents, seals, stamps);
- 190.3 (fraud).
The investigation is carried out under the procedural supervision of Kyiv City Prosecutor’s Office.
