Three members of a criminal group who profited from Ukrainians who were looking for work abroad were exposed for the procedural leadership of the Holosiiv District Prosecutor's Office in Kiev. The investigation has collected evidence of fraud committed against at least 186 victims in the amount of more than UAH 2 million (Part 3, 4 of Article 190 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine).

According to the investigation, the participants of the scheme created a website that allegedly offered intermediary services for the employment of Ukrainians in European countries. Communication with potential employees was carried out through a call center.

After receiving payment from the victims in the amount of 8 to 18 thousand UAH. scammers stopped communicating with them, and the funds received were appropriated.

In May 2023, law enforcement officers exposed and reported suspicion to the organizer of the scheme-a 26-year-old resident of Kiev.

In the course of further investigative actions, it was possible to identify three more people involved in the criminal scheme. Each of them performed a specified role in the commission of the crime.

The investigation qualified the actions of the organizer and accomplices as committing a crime as part of an organized group, which is an aggravating circumstance.

Now petitions have been submitted to the court for choosing a preventive measure in the form of detention for accomplices.

The defendants ' places of residence and their "offices" were searched and computer equipment, mobile phones, bank cards and draft records that confirm illegal activities were seized.
