What is known about Borisov
At the beginning of May, a criminal case was initiated against Borisov on suspicion of selling "blank tickets" (fake military service exemptions). Subsequently, he was dismissed from his position as the Head of the Odesa Regional Military Commissariat.
Later, the media revealed that during the full-scale war, Borisov's family acquired real estate and cars worth several hundred thousand dollars. One of the most scandalous purchases was a villa in Spain for nearly 4 million euros.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy instructed to dismiss Borisov from his position. The order has already been executed.
On July 19, the National Agency on Corruption Prevention determined that Borisov had illegally enriched himself by UAH 188 million. On July 22, he was informed of the suspicion.
A few days later, Borisov was detained in Kyiv while attempting to evade the investigation.
