In Cherkasy region, law enforcement officers uncovered a large-scale financing scheme for the criminal hierarchy in the penitentiary.
According to the Office of the Prosecutor General, in August 2024, one of the convicts, acting as a “watcher”, organized a systematic collection of funds from other prisoners.
Part of this money was obtained from the illegal sale of drugs, after which the finances were transferred outside the colony.
The funds collected through a proxy were used for the benefit of the “thief in law” who coordinated the activities of the criminal group. Only the documented amount of “black money” exceeded one million hryvnias.
Investigators conducted 17 searches in Kyiv, as well as in Kyiv and Cherkasy regions, where physical evidence related to the scheme was seized.
The organizer of the scheme was notified of suspicion under the article on establishment and dissemination of criminal influence. His confidant was prosecuted for the illegal circulation of narcotic drugs and the provision of illegal financial flows.
The third person involved, who was responsible for the accumulation and transfer of funds, was also suspected of spreading criminal influence.
We will remind, in Kyiv, the person involved in the embezzlement of more than 5.8 billion hryvnias of Ukrtatnafta was detained.
A teenager who set fire to a locomotive for “easy money” was also detained in Kharkiv.
