Zhitomir police exposed a group of rackets led by a crime boss. The press service of the National Police of Ukraine reported this today, January 4.

“The members of the group requested false loans from the residents of the city of Korosten. In addition, they provided services to “solve” financial conflicts. Some demanded 500 dollars, from others this amount can reach 5,000. If the victims did not agree to the terms of the defendants, then they took them by force their property,” the press service notes.

It is reported that law enforcement officials have collected evidence linking the defendants to eight episodes of criminal activity.

“In particular, they took equipment worth more than 300,000 hryvnias from one of the victims, and a hunting shotgun, a chainsaw and a mobile phone from several other citizens,” the report said.

In 28 searches, the police seized almost 6 million hryvnias in national and foreign currency.

Earlier it was reported that the Security Service detained a deputy of the Korostyshev city council of the Zhytomyr region, who is part of a criminal organization in the region. He and his gang kidnapped people and extorted money from them.

Before this, the Security Service neutralized a criminal group in Vinnitsa that was threatening the city’s residents and trying to take over the agricultural business in the region.
