The group was organized by two locals, who joined it with a law enforcement officer, a military man and the son of a judge from a neighboring region, the press service of the State Bureau of Investigation reported.
At the end of December, residents of the Lviv region were approached by two people who wanted to go to Europe. For 15 thousand dollars. They were promised to be included in the “Path” system as volunteers, but the men forged the relevant documents.
The “clients” intended to transport a large amount of currency abroad in cash. The organizers of the transportation decided to put on a performance in order to profit twice.
On March 28, during a meeting in Lvov, the men were given fake certificates about allegedly being included in the “Put” system. The clients were ordered to get into a car that would take them to the border.
The driver brought two men to one of the villages in the Yavoriv region. Three other gang members were waiting for them there, dressed in the uniform of TCC workers. The evaders were informed that their certificates were forged, and an investigative and operational group would immediately arrive at the scene and take the evaders to the military registration and enlistment office, from where to the front.
Disguised employees of the TCC offered to avoid such a scenario for 20 thousand dollars. After receiving this money, this group was detained by law enforcement officers.
Investigators informed five people of suspicion of organizing extortion, committed by prior conspiracy by a group of people under martial law. The organizers are also suspected of fraud.
