The State Bureau of Investigation seized 7 million UAH from the command of the 110th Brigade, collected from soldiers as illegal fees.

The State Bureau of Investigations has transferred over 6.73 million UAH, seized during the investigation into extortion from military personnel in the 110th Separate Mechanized Brigade, to the National Agency for Detection, Search, and Management of Assets.

This was reported by the agency's press service.

At the end of December 2024, DBR employees announced suspicions against the deputy commander of this unit, and in January 2025, against his accomplice, the commander of the logistics group.

They organized a scheme whereby subordinate soldiers could effectively avoid reporting for duty, merely being registered in the unit. Meanwhile, they received full financial support and even combat payments for supposedly completed tasks at the front line.

Half of the funds received were supposed to be handed over to the command.

Law enforcement is investigating at least 50 individuals who may have been involved in this scheme.

The criminal activities of the commanders were uncovered by one of the subordinates, who reported to law enforcement in Khmelnytskyi. In particular, he took a bag containing 1.5 million UAH from the deputy commander, which had been received as a bribe.

During a search of the deputy commander's residence in Zaporizhzhia, investigators seized nearly 5 million UAH in various currencies. Additionally, one of his accomplices in Dnipro was found with $17,000.

All these funds have been transferred to ARMA.

Furthermore, an arrest has been placed on the property of the deputy commander, which he managed to acquire after the onset of the full-scale invasion by Russia, including:

• an elite 60 sq. m apartment in Odesa near the sea;
• a 40 sq. m garage;
• a 75 sq. m apartment in Khmelnytskyi;
• two plots of land in the Verkhovyna district near the ski resort "Bukovel";
• a premium-class Mercedes-Benz;
• bank accounts and securities totaling nearly 4 million UAH.

The issue of additional charges for money laundering against the deputy brigade commander is being considered.

Background. Recall that the DBR explained why they opened proceedings against generals and brigade commanders, noting that it was due to "significant public resonance."
