Believing that she was really communicating with the special services, the woman handed over all her savings to the so-called “agent” – more than 21,000 dollars, about 5,000 euros and about 285,000 hryvnias. In total, this is more than 1 million 400 thousand hryvnias.

A 30-year-old resident of the capital was notified of suspicion of fraud. Other persons involved in the fraud are also being identified.

The pre-trial investigation is carried out by the investigators of the police station of the Darnytsky district of Kyiv.
