This possibility is provided for in Art. 335 Code of Criminal Procedure, writes NGL. media in the material “Instead of prison, join the army.”
An analysis of the stopped cases shows that we are mainly talking about cases of theft, drugs, and serious accidents. Many stopped cases relate to corruption crimes – misappropriation or embezzlement of property, bribery, abuse of official position, etc.
As NGL writes. media, most of the cases stopped by the courts were under articles of theft (2187 cases, this is approximately every fifth case), fatal accidents (766), drug trafficking (757). Also, some of the cases concern corruption crimes.
Journalists analyzed 400 cases in detail and found that about a hundred defendants committed crimes while already in military status.
Almost half of the analyzed cases concern criminal proceedings initiated in 2010-2020. During the service of the accused, the statute of limitations continues to accrue, and therefore, it is likely that they may be generally released from criminal liability due to the fact that the statute of limitations has expired.
Journalists discovered several cases under serious charges – we are talking about sexual violence against minors and contract killings.
In April, the Verkhovna Rada adopted in the first reading a bill on the mobilization of convicts, which stipulates that only five categories of convicts will not be able to mobilize, for example, for crimes against the foundations of national security, the deliberate murder of two or more people, rape, etc. All others can be mobilized.
