Law enforcement officers conducted more than 20 searches on the territory of Odessa, Dnipropetrovsk and Lviv regions in the places of residence of the defendants and in money exchange offices.
The owner of a network of currency exchange points and his two accomplices, who embezzled 800 thousand dollars, were informed of the suspicion. This is what the National Police reported.
It is learned that the couple turned to the owner of the exchange office. He promised to help them transfer funds abroad and even identified two people who will deal with this issue. However, over time, having received money from the victims, they began to delay the process of conducting a financial transaction. They explain this through fictional difficulties that arose during the tradition. In fact, no processes took place.
Law enforcement officers conducted more than 20 searches on the territory of Odessa, Dnipropetrovsk and Lviv regions in the places of residence of the defendants and in money exchange offices. They confiscated computer equipment, telephones, money, “rough” documentation and records.
For fraud committed on a large scale, defendants can face from 5 to 12 years in prison with confiscation of property.
The issue of selection of suspected measures is being decided.
Additional steps are being taken to identify people who may be involved in the fraudulent scheme.
Let’s remind, fraudsters deceived investors of “financial exchange” to 500 thousand hryvnias.
It was previously reported that a fraudulent call-center with millions in revenue was exposed in Kyiv.
