Law enforcement officers exposed three men who impersonated Ukrainian servicemen and embezzled UAH 2.5 million in donations for the Armed Forces.
This was reported by the National Police of Ukraine on Sunday, January 19.
According to the investigation, the attackers created dozens of fake accounts in several popular social networks.
They used photos of Ukrainian military documents found in open sources and published announcements about fundraising supposedly for their needs. Instead, the participants spent the received funds on their own needs.
The National Police noted that the men embezzled donations worth more than UAH 2.5 million.
Law enforcement officers conducted 11 searches at the places of residence and registration of criminals in Cherkasy and Kyiv regions. The police seized mobile phones, bank cards, computer equipment and other evidence.
The three defendants were informed of the suspicion under part. 3 Art. 190, ch. 4 Art. 190 (Fraud) and Part 2 of Article 209 (Legalization of property obtained by criminal means) of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. They face up to eight years in prison.
