On the border with Poland, border guards uncovered another scheme for illegal crossing of the border by men of conscription age.

In order to organize an illegal transfer, a man and a woman "gave birth" by marrying.

A 20-year-old man and a 25-year-old woman were heading to a neighboring country through the Rava-Ruska checkpoint. During the inspection, as a reason for going abroad, the "spouses" from Ivano-Frankivsk region provided a marriage certificate and a disability certificate of the third group of the citizen.

During the additional inspection, operatives of the Lviv detachment established that the bride and groom entered into a marriage so that the husband could go abroad as an escort for a person with a disability. According to the established procedure, the employees of the investigative police department No. 2 of the Lviv district police department No. 1 of the National Security Service of Ukraine in the Lviv region were informed of this fact. Under the procedural guidance of the Zhovkiv district prosecutor's office, the woman was informed of the suspicion of committing a crime under Part 1 of Art. 332 of the Criminal Code "Illegal transportation of persons across the state border of Ukraine."

We should add that recently the number of attempts to smuggle men abroad in this way has increased. This month alone, five cases of sham marriages were exposed. Border guards remind such "fiancees" that by such actions they expose themselves to criminal liability.
