Six defendants organized a shadow money transfer scheme through Russian payment systems banned in Ukraine. Law enforcement officers conducted 12 searches.

Cyber police operatives, together with investigators from the Main Investigation Department of the National Police, under the procedural guidance of the Prosecutor General's Office, identified six Ukrainian citizens who organized a shadow money transfer scheme through Russian payment systems banned in Ukraine.

The attackers used a web resource that provided an opportunity to bring currency in the form of the Russian ruble to the territory of Ukraine, as well as conduct transactions of electronic money and cryptocurrencies. The police documented the withdrawal of Russian currency through the mentioned web resource. Exchange operations were carried out without accounting and tax records, using forged transfer documents, payment cards, etc.

Law enforcement officers blocked an illegal online currency exchange and, with the support of the TOP special forces, conducted 12 searches at the addresses of residence and registration of the defendants in the Kiev, Cherkasy and Transcarpathian regions. Electronic data carriers, communication terminals, computer equipment, and records were seized.

Digital assets of the defendants who were used in illegal activities were also seized.

Investigators opened criminal proceedings under Part 2 of Article 200 (Illegal actions with transfer documents, payment cards and other means of access to bank accounts, electronic money, equipment for their production), Part 3 of Article 203-2 (Illegal activity in organizing or conducting gambling, lotteries), Part 2 of Article 209 (Legalization (money laundering)

Investigative actions continue. The fact of possible cooperation with the aggressor country involved is checked.
