Under the procedural guidance of the Kiev Regional and Brovarsky District Prosecutor's Offices, four members of an organized group were exposed and reported on suspicion of fraud (Part 4 of Article 190 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine).
According to the investigation, at the end of 2022, the suspects created websites where they placed fake ads about the sale of generators. During this period, they were in high demand due to the ongoing blackouts.
In communication with potential buyers from different parts of Ukraine, they convinced them to transfer a full subscription to controlled bank accounts. After receiving the money, they did not get in touch again. Thus, the suspects embezzled almost one million hryvnias.
The organizer distributed the funds received from criminal activities among all the participants of the group.
The investigation checks the involvement of suspects in fraudulent actions against 20 people.
The pre-trial investigation is carried out by investigators of the Brovarsky district Department of the National Police in the Kiev region with operational support of the Department of Countering Cybercrime in the Kiev region of the DKP NP of Ukraine.
