The malefactor deceived three citizens, having handed over to them in long-term rent someone else's apartment. In addition, he was hiding from the investigation for a previously committed cybercrime. Now the investigators have completed the pre-trial investigation and sent the indictment to the court. The man faces up to fifteen years in prison.
Recall that in October, the Kiev police received a message from a local resident that she found photos of her home with a long-term rental offer on the online ad platform. The woman said that the day before she rented out her apartment, which is located on Bethlehem Street, to an unknown man for three days. Since the applicant is abroad, the keys to the apartment were given to the "tenant" by her friend. Then, to check the information at the specified address, law enforcement officers arrived.
Operational employees of the Dnipro police department found the alleged suspect near the apartment and found out that he had already managed to deceive three people. The malefactor within a day "handed over" the apartment for a long time, having taken from tenants only 28 000 hryvnias of payment. The man introduced himself as the owner, showed fake documents to those who wanted to rent housing, and also signed fictitious contracts with them and gave them duplicate keys.
The police identified the victims and selected statements about the commission of a crime against them. When checking the suspect's phone, law enforcement officers found that there were several more people who wanted to rent an apartment, but the violator did not have time to meet them.
During the verification of information, the police found out that the person involved is wanted, because he violated the chosen measure of restraint in the form of house arrest and was hiding from the investigation. Back in July, investigators informed the man about suspicion of committing crimes under Part 5 of Article 361-unauthorized interference in the operation of an information (automated) system aimed at leaking and blocking information, committed during martial law and under Part 3 of Article 190 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine - fraud committed through illegal operations using electronic banking systems.- computer system engineering, repeatedly.
Then the attacker posted a phishing link on the social network, which was advertising content with false information about the provision of monetary assistance to Ukrainian citizens allegedly from a charity organization and which completely imitated the popular Internet banking. Later, a woman clicked on this fake link and filled out a form in which she entered her information about the financial phone number of the bank account, personal and other confidential data. This data was used by an attacker. He reissued the bank card by linking it to another financial account and phone number, and also created his own PIN code. This allowed the suspect to withdraw UAH 20,000 of cash from the victim's account through the terminal, and then transfer another UAH 40,000 from the woman's social account to the controlled account.
Consequently, the operational staff of the territorial division detained the violator in accordance with Article 191 of the Criminal Procedure Code of Ukraine. It turned out to be a 28-year-old resident of Kiev, who was previously brought to criminal responsibility for theft and robbery.
Under the procedural guidance of the Dnipro District Prosecutor's Office in Kyiv, the investigators informed the defendant about suspicion of committing a crime under Part 2 of Article 190 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine-fraud committed repeatedly. The court chose a preventive measure in the form of detention for the violator as part of a pre-trial investigation of a previously committed cybercrime and fraud.
Now the investigators have completed the pre-trial investigations and sent the materials of the criminal proceedings together with the indictments to the court for consideration of the case on its merits. The man faces from ten to fifteen years of imprisonment with deprivation of the right to hold certain positions or engage in certain activities for up to three years.
