Indictment submitted to court

The prosecution has completed the investigation and submitted the criminal case of 61-year-old Volodymyr Pauk to the court. The man held the position of head of the military medical commission (VMC) at the Berehove District Territorial Centre for Recruitment and Social Support in Zakarpattia.

According to the case materials, the investigation established that Pauk demanded 6,000 US dollars for facilitating the obtaining of a medical conclusion on limited fitness for military service. This document was to be issued without conducting a proper medical examination.
