Advertising for medications for joint pain and even hypertension was posted on social networks Facebook and on the created website. The 23-year-old “businessman” and his accomplices set up so-called “production” in a garage in the capital of the country, and in the center of Zhitomir they opened a call center for “doctors” to “work with clients.”
Law enforcement officers established that 10 employees of the call center, which was located in Zhitomir, called people, introduced themselves as doctors and offered effective “medicines.”
The main defendant involved 7 accomplices in such activities, who were engaged in the “manufacturing,” packaging and shipping of “medicines.”
A 67-year-old pensioner also fell for the scammers and purchased a branded gel for joints from the “doctors” costing about 1,800 UAH. After using it for a long time, the woman did not receive the promised therapeutic effect, so she contacted the police. Her statement became the starting point for the police in documenting the criminal activities of the defendants.
As a result of the operational activities and priority investigative actions, investigators of the Zhytomyr regional police department, together with employees of the cyber unit of the SBU and with the support of a special police company, conducted 27 searches of the organizer and his accomplices: in the call center, places of production, packaging of products and at the place of residence persons involved. And then they seized about 5 million hryvnia in national and foreign currency, documents and instructions confirming their illegal activities, packaged products, machines for making stickers, printed stickers for medicines, and dosage containers. As well as computer equipment, mobile phones, bank cards and “work” records.
Now the police are establishing other victims and the amount of damage caused within the criminal proceedings under Part 4 of Art. 190 (Fraud) of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. However, the police already have reason to believe that the number of victims reaches several dozen.
The seized “products” were sent for examination to establish what exactly the merchants were selling under the guise of medicines.
The organizer of the “business” has already been declared suspicious; procedural decisions regarding his accomplices will be made after the necessary investigative actions have been carried out. For committing fraud, up to 12 years of imprisonment with confiscation of property is provided.
