The cyber police of Lviv region, together with investigators of the Lviv RUE No. 1 region, exposed two scammers who deceived citizens under the guise of fees for the needs of military personnel. Law enforcement officers sent an indictment to the court.

The defendants created a fake account on a popular social network and posted posts to raise funds for the treatment of wounded servicemen. The messages indicated the details of controlled bank accounts. They spent the money they received on their own needs.

In July, cyber police operatives together with investigators of the Lviv RUE No. 1, with the assistance of the operational department of the state institution "Lviv Penitentiary Institution (No. 19)" and under the procedural guidance of the Galician District Prosecutor's Office of Lviv, conducted 6 searches at the places of registration and residence of the defendants in Odessa, Lviv and the Lviv region. As a result, mobile phones, bank and SIM cards, computer equipment, and cash in Russian rubles were seized.

Thanks to the professional work of law enforcement officers, who quickly identified the scammers, the attackers managed to deceive only five people. One of the attackers is currently serving a sentence in a place of deprivation of liberty, the other person involved was detained. The court chose a preventive measure in the form of detention.

Now the indictment against the fraudsters has been sent to court.

The actions of the accused are qualified under Part 3 of Article 190 (fraud). The Criminal Code of Ukraine. The sanction of the article provides for up to five years of imprisonment.
