The SBU exposed a corrupt doctor at Lviv Regional Hospital of Veterans.

For money, the offender assisted in issuing disablement certificates to ATO/JFO participants. In some cases, she extorted money even from those who had legal grounds for disability pensions.

SBU operatives established that the doctor also took bribes for drawing up the primary documents. She set different prices for her “services”. In particular, the woman promised to upgrade the disability category of an injured soldier for USD 8,000.

The SBU detained the woman while receiving the full sum of thebribe.

During the searches of the offender’s office and residence, law enforcement officers found documents of ATO participants and draft records.

The SBU is going to serve the detainee a suspicion notice of taking a bribe. A motion on choosing a type of detention is being prepared.

Involvement in illegal activities of other officials of the hospital, military commissariat, as well as Physical Disability Review Board of Lviv city, is being checked.

The operation was carried out by the SBU Office in Lviv region jointly with investigators of the Main National Police Directorate in Lviv region under the supervision of the Specialized Prosecutor's Office in Military and Defense Sphere of the Western region.
