Five TCC employees were arrested in the Chernivtsi region, suspected of kidnapping men and torturing them, as well as extorting money. This is reported by the State Bureau of Investigation. According to the investigation, the head of one of the departments of the Tak district and four of his subordinates forcibly detained men on the streets of the city of Kitzman, and then beat and tortured them in the military registration and recruitment office, which allegedly forced them to voluntarily agree to enlistment. In one case in February 2026, TCC employees used a traumatic weapon against a man, injuring him in the leg. He was then taken to the military registration and recruitment office, where he was not given the necessary medical treatment. Moreover, according to the State Investigations Ministry, the man had to remove the bullet from the wound himself. Another episode happened on September 30. According to investigators, TCC employees arranged the man's kidnapping due to a personal dispute. They followed him and then forced their way into a car near a crosswalk. It turned out that the abductee was a participant in the hostilities, which had been fought near Kiev, Irfan and Khemut since the beginning of the Russian invasion. In addition, the investigators documented extortion by threats and receiving 5,500 euros for the release of one of the detainees.
