Former TCC head to stand trial in Kyiv region for seizing business vehicles allegedly for army

State Bureau of Investigation (SBI) employees have completed a pre-trial investigation into the former head of one of the district Territorial Recruitment and Social Support Centers (TCC) in the Kyiv region, who illegally seized vehicles from entrepreneurs.

"Investigators established that the official, without legal grounds, took 8 vehicles from two enterprises engaged in freight transportation. The transport was seized without proper documentation under the pretext of the needs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine," the SBI reported on its Telegram channel on Thursday.

Subsequently, as noted by the agency, acceptance-transfer certificates were backdated at the suspect’s direction—allegedly for the transfer of the vehicles to military units.

"In reality, this transport never reached the units. Due to these actions, the enterprises suffered losses exceeding UAH 4 million," the SBI emphasized.

Currently, as specified in the report, part of the damage has been compensated—three vehicles were transferred for the needs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, amounting to approximately UAH 1 million.

The indictment against the former TCC head has been sent to court. The former official’s actions were qualified under Part 5 of Art. 426-1 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine—exceeding authority under martial law.

Procedural guidance was provided by the Kyiv Specialized Prosecutor’s Office in the sphere of defense of the Central Region.
