The Prosecutor General of Ukraine, Ruslan Kравченко, has published shocking details of the illegal actions of center employees. It turned out that for several months, a group of suspects systematically violated citizens' rights, using methods bordering on terrorism for detention. One of the most cynical episodes was the use of an official vehicle as a weapon. According to the investigation, one of the men was deliberately run over by a car to detain him and take him to the TCC. In another case, center employees used strangulation and beatings, putting handcuffs on the victim. Under the threat of physical violence, the man was forced to name the password to his smartphone to gain access to the data. ### Scale of the tragedy: at least eight victims According to investigators, at least eight people became victims of the suspects' actions. Coercion methods ranged from the use of tear gas to brutal physical violence. Detainees were not only beaten but also forcibly taken to recruitment centers, ignoring any legal norms and procedures. All ten suspects in these crimes have already been detained. Law enforcement agencies are currently deciding on the choice of preventive measures for them. According to the investigation, these people used their official powers to commit illegal violence against civilians, turning state structures into tools of intimidation. ### Prosecutor General's position: "Mobilization is a duty, torture is a crime" Ruslan Kравченко clearly distinguished between state duty and criminal responsibility in his statement. He emphasized that mobilization is necessary for the defense of the state, but this does not give anyone the right to violate the law. "Evasion of it, corruption, and illegal schemes for obtaining deferments must receive appropriate legal assessment. At the same time, the need for mobilization does not give anyone the right to violate the law," the Prosecutor General noted. Kравченко also stated that the Prosecutor General's Office does not divide people by uniform, position, or status. "Those who evade their duty to the state must be held accountable by law. And so must those who, in the name of the state, apply illegal violence," he emphasized. This statement became a direct signal that the authorities are ready to fight corruption and abuse within the system, not just with draft dodgers. ### Context: "Honest Draft" operation and massive purge The case in Odesa became part of a broader campaign to combat violations in the mobilization system. At the end of July, the State Bureau of Investigation (SBI), together with the General Staff, conducted searches in more than 100 TCCs across Ukraine as part of the "Honest Draft" operation. Investigators were looking for evidence of bribes for evading mobilization and beatings by recruitment center workers. In early August, it became known that the number of suspects in the torture case at the Odesa TCC had increased to thirteen. Then the investigation established the involvement of four more center workers in the illegal detention and beating of civilians, in addition to the nine previously exposed group members. This indicates that the problem is systemic and requires a deep reform of the entire recruitment system. ## 🔍 Fact-Check Verification - [Strangled, beaten, and run over by car: new details in the Odesa TCC torture case](https://www.rbc.ua/ukr/news/dushili-bili-ta-zbivali-avtomobilem-lyudey-1787046710.html) - Источник содержит прямые цитаты Генпрокурора и детали расследования, включая эпизоды с автомобилем и паролем от телефона.
