One of the judges in Odessa was found to be involved in an illegal scheme for the departure abroad of conscripts who received deferrals from mobilization. This organized group operated within the judicial system, and the judge assisted participants for $3500 in promoting child custody cases without the intervention of the parties, which allowed them to obtain permission for departure.
The High Council of Justice decided to dismiss this judge after the case materials prepared by SAP and NABU confirmed his involvement in this scheme.
