In the Kiev region, police exposed scammers who organized a fraudulent scheme, making money on the suffering of families of Ukrainian military.
The Prosecutor’s Office of Kiev reports.
The attackers, through the closed Telegram-channel, convinced families of missing persons and captives who could find their relatives or assist with the “inclusion in the lists for exchange” and demanded considerable funds for it. The total loss is over UAH 4 million.
Investigators found out that the organizer of the scheme was 38-year-old, and a 39-year-old woman. The money received from families was spent on their own needs. Both defendants were detained, they were given suspicion of large -sized fraud, committed by a group of persons during the martial law. Up to 12 years of imprisonment with confiscation of property is envisaged for such actions.
