The Odesa Regional Prosecutor’s Office sent an indictment against four participants in an organized criminal group who demanded money from Odessa under the guise of police officers and territorial centers of staffing and social support (TCC and JV).
According to the investigation, the defendants tracked the men of conscript age and demanded money from them, threatening forced delivery to the shopping center.
They intimidated people with the opportunity to get into the “charm” base, which allegedly guaranteed the absence of problems with mobilization. In one case, the attackers received 38 thousand UAH, in the other – almost 41 thousand UAH.
During the detention in November 2024, when the group members demanded 4000 UAH and $ 3,000 from the next victim, money, military clothing, weapons and other material evidence were withdrawn. All the defendants are in custody, and in the group there were persons with a criminal past, including an ex -lawyer.
This revelation was the result of the joint actions of the prosecutor’s office and investigators of the National Police for prompt support of DVB employees.
Earlier in Ukraine they noticed fraudsters who demand money from their native prisoners of war. They are represented by staff of international humanitarian missions.
In Dnipropetrovsk, cyber Police, together with investigators of the police department, exposed the malefactors who, during March-November 2024, issued fictitious marriages to military men. So for money they could get delay from mobilization.
