SBU caught evaders and their transporters/SBU photo

The investigators found that with the help of an inflatable boat, the attackers systematically transported men of military age across the river abroad.

To do this, the dealers tracked the movement of border guards using a thermal imager. The defendants estimated the cost of such a service at 5-6 thousand euros per “evader”.

As part of criminal proceedings, law enforcement officers detained the organizer of the scheme and two of his accomplices.
