Major from Pryluky TCC convicted of falsifying data in the Obereg system

Fact of artificial inflation of statistics established

The Pryluky City and District Court of Chernihiv region delivered a verdict against Serhiy Yurchenko, who held the position of acting head of the Pryluky Territorial Centre for Recruitment and Social Support (TCC and SS). The officer was found guilty of unauthorised modification of information in an automated system.

According to the investigation, the major had access to the Unified Electronic Register of Conscription Candidates, Liable Citizens and Reservists, known as the Obereg system. Using his authority, he resorted to artificially inflating statistical indicators.

Changes to the records of six citizens

The incident occurred in May 2026. At that time, the official unjustifiably made edits to the registration cards of liable citizens who were on the register. The documents contained knowingly false information stating that these citizens had been conscripted for military service during mobilisation and directed to serve in a specific military unit.

In fact, none of these men had been conscripted. The order for their conscription and transfer to a military unit was not implemented, and they were not enrolled in the unit's personnel lists. In total, in one day, Serhiy Yurchenko altered the data in the cards of six such citizens who were subject to conscription.

Disciplinary action and plea deal with the prosecutor

In July of the same year, following the completion of an internal investigation, the TCC and SS employee was held disciplinarily liable. He was demoted one rank in military status.

Later, the defendant entered into a plea deal with the prosecutor, admitting his guilt.

Court verdict

The court imposed a punishment on Serhiy Yurchenko that was agreed upon by the parties. He was fined 85,000 hryvnias. In addition, he is prohibited for a period of one year from holding positions or exercising authority related to military duty and military service in Territorial Centres for Recruitment and Social Support.
