In Berdychev, two people were detained on suspicion of “extorting” money from the wife of a soldier. The suspects “beat off” a non-existent debt from the common-law wife of a serviceman of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
This is reported by the Prosecutor General’s Office.
According to the investigation, one of the men has a criminal record for fraud and is accused of theft.
In September 2024, the men scheduled a meeting with the victim, during which they demanded to pay them UAH 50,000. The woman denied having any debt, but she was threatened with physical violence and blackmailed into disclosing confidential information.
Under psychological pressure, the victim took the laptop to the pawnshop and paid part of the debt.
Later, the suspects began to demand the handover of the rest of the money, and in case of contacting the law enforcement officers, they threatened with physical violence. In addition, the suspects set a final deadline for the payment of funds.
Fearing for her life, the woman was forced to collect another amount, and after receiving UAH 10,000 from the victim, both men were detained in accordance with Art. 208 of the CPC of Ukraine.
Precautionary measures have already been chosen for the men in the form of detention without bail.
Earlier in the Chernihiv region, law enforcement officers detained a swindler who presented himself as a law enforcement officer and extorted $3,000 from the mother of a missing serviceman.
And another man sold fictional thermal imagers, EW systems, drones and other goods for the military through the Internet, thus swindling 600,000 hryvnias.
