**Translation:** 

During the “Honest Conscription” operation, law enforcement uncovered wrongdoing by two notification teams from the Kyivskyi District TCC in Odesa. Ten servicemen have been charged.

**Details**: According to investigators, during mobilization efforts, TCC personnel used force against civilians, beat them, used tear gas, and forcibly took them to the territorial recruitment center.

The SBI says it has so far documented 15 such incidents. Prosecutors say at least eight civilian victims have been identified.

In one case, a man tried to flee from a notification team. During the pursuit, the driver of a TCC service vehicle ran him over.

The Bureau says the violations were systematic. The suspects used the slogan “Gas ’em, pack ’em, and process ’em” among themselves, and even set it as the wallpaper on their mobile phones.

According to the prosecutor general, seven of the ten suspects were mobilized in spring 2025 and immediately assigned to serve at an Odesa TCC.

Four TCC servicemen were charged with torture and unlawful deprivation of liberty (Part 1, Article 28; Part 3, Article 127; and Part 2, Article 146 of Ukraine’s Criminal Code).

Another six servicemen were charged with unlawful deprivation of liberty (Part 2, Article 146).

Four of the suspects charged with torture were remanded in custody without bail. The other six were placed under 24-hour house arrest.
