A man who defrauded the mother of a deceased serviceman of UAH 1 million has been exposed in the Kirovograd region
According to the investigation, the mother of a serviceman of the Armed Forces of Ukraine who defended Maryinka and died in December 2022, began receiving payments related to the loss of her son.
The detainee, taking advantage of the woman’s vulnerable state, convinced her that it was he who had accelerated state payments, as well as the need to provide part of the funds to help the army. In this way, he took possession of the victim’s funds in the amount of more than UAH 1 million.
Law enforcement officers detained the man under Article 208 of the Criminal Procedure Code of Ukraine while receiving funds from the duty unit – 300 thousand UAH. They were found in his car.
The issue of informing the detainee of suspicion of fraud on an especially large scale (Part 5 of Article 190 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine) is being decided.
