Investigators of the Main Investigation Department of the National Police and the cyber police of Kharkiv region exposed four more members of a criminal organization who embezzled funds of citizens under the guise of the bank security service.
According to the cyber police, cardholders were informed about allegedly questionable transactions with their account, so to "protect" their funds, citizens were offered to transfer them from their card to a virtual account allegedly specially created for it via a mobile application. In fact, the money was transferred to the accounts of third parties, which were obtained by persons involved in the commission of a criminal offense fraudulently or for a fee.
In November 2023, security forces conducted searches in correctional institutions in several regions of the state, as well as at the place of residence of accomplices of a criminal organization.
Then, under the procedural guidance of the Prosecutor General's Office, 10 malefactors, including two so-called "authorities of the criminal environment" and one "looker", were declared suspicious by investigators.
In June 2024, law enforcement officers exposed four more accomplices of the defendants. Now the members of the criminal group who were at large were detained in accordance with Article 208 of the Criminal Procedure Code of Ukraine. They were subjected to preventive measures in the form of detention.
Investigative actions are carried out within the framework of criminal proceedings initiated under Part 4 of Article 190 (Fraud), Part 2 of Article 255-1 (Establishment or distribution of criminal influence in penitentiary institutions), Part 2 of Article 255 (Participation in a criminal organization) of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. Malefactors can face up to 15 years of imprisonment with confiscation of property for their actions.
The pre-trial investigation continues.
