As reported, an employee of the main Directorate of military counterintelligence of the SBU during business trips voluntarily left the place of service to be a referee at football matches. In 2018-2019, an SBU officer was sent to the regions to provide methodological and practical assistance in carrying out work on technical protection of information. Instead, he went to other cities of Ukraine more than 10 times without permission, where he took a direct part in refereeing football matches as a referee.
