“Employees of the Criminal Investigation Department and investigators of the Main Investigation Department of the National Police of Ukraine found that there was a group in Ukraine, which established an international scheme for the seizure of funds of EU citizens, in particular, the Czech Republic.

Each participant of the group gave its own role: the so-called call centers, accountants, administrators, lawyers, personal and office guards, a polygraphist who tested newcomers to communicate with law enforcement, ”the message reads.
Investigators announced suspicion of establishing and participating in a criminal organization, as well as fraud of a particularly large group leader and one of the main participants. The issue of choosing precautionary measures is currently being resolved.
