To carry out the scheme, they used a woman with a disability who entered into a sham marriage with the conscript. They demanded $10,000 for their services, half of which they received upon registration of the marriage.<\/p>\n<div class=\"news-summary-box\">\n<div class=\"summary-title\">Briefly about the main points<\/div>\n<ul>\n<li>The head of a military post in the Kharkiv region has been charged with human trafficking.<\/li>\n<li>A woman with a disability was used in a sham marriage with a conscript.<\/li>\n<li>The scheme enabled the man to travel abroad without legal grounds during martial law.<\/li>\n<li>The suspects demanded $10,000 for helping people leave Ukraine illegally.<\/li>\n<li>Pre-trial measures have been imposed in the form of detention, subject to bail.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Progress of the investigation and details of the scheme<\/h2>\n<p>Under the procedural supervision of the Specialised <a href=\"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/suspilstvo\/zakarpattia-matir-translyuvala-porno\/\">prosecutor's offices<\/a> In the Eastern Region\u2019s defence sector, the head of the technical inspection unit at a military unit in the Kharkiv region and his accomplice have been charged. They organised the illegal smuggling of a conscript across Ukraine\u2019s state border whilst martial law was in force.<\/p>\n<p>According to the investigation, in May 2026 the suspects lured a 27-year-old woman with a Group II disability, who was in difficult circumstances and dependent on one of the accomplices. The man, who had known the victim for over 10 years, took advantage of her trust by persuading her to enter into a sham marriage with a conscript.<\/p>\n<h2>The mechanism of sham marriages and illegal departure<\/h2>\n<p>Following the registration of the marriage, the man obtained a formal basis for travelling abroad by claiming the status of a spouse of a person with a disability. On 27 May 2026, a marriage with signs of being a sham was registered at the Civil Registry Office in the Kharkiv region. On the same day, the receipt of part of the agreed sum \u2014 5,000 US dollars \u2014 was documented.<\/p>\n<p>The suspects demanded $10,000 for their services. After the money was handed over, the police arrested the soldier and his accomplice. During the searches, the money, mobile phones and the victim\u2019s documents were seized.<\/p>\n<h2>Precautionary measures and follow-up checks<\/h2>\n<p>The court has ordered the suspects to be remanded in custody, with the option of bail. Their assets have been frozen. Investigations are underway to establish whether the suspects were involved in other cases of illegally smuggling conscripts across the state border.<\/p>\n<h2>The legal status of suspects<\/h2>\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/zakon.rada.gov.ua\/laws\/show\/254%D0%BA\/96-%D0%B2%D1%80#Text\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Article 62 of the Constitution of Ukraine<\/a>, ... a person is presumed innocent until proven guilty in court. The investigation is ongoing, and inquiries are being carried out to identify all those involved in the criminal
