Under the guise of a charitable foundation, the attackers allocated almost 9 million hryvnias collected for the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Law enforcement officials exposed a large-scale fraudulent scheme, the participants of which were defrauding citizens of nearly 8 million hryvnias, allegedly for charity. This is what the National Police reported on Wednesday, September 14.

It was established that the organizer – a 37-year-old deputy of one of the city councils in the Sumy region – created two call centers in Kyiv and Dnipro and hired employees – managers and operators who worked in offices.

They called businessmen, asked for help buying specific goods for the military and gave details of a charity organisation. And the money received was sent to the accounts of controlled individual entrepreneurs and distributed among themselves. In the process of documenting criminal activity, it was established that in this way they collected about 9 million hryvnias and defrauded about 6,000 people.

To hide their criminal activities, the defendants transferred 0.5% of the collected amount to the Armed Forces of Ukraine and regularly reported their fake charity to those who sent them money. For encouragement, they even recorded videos about what kind of help they seem to be giving to the military. In fact, they distributed almost all the money among themselves.

The police conducted 30 searches, including the premises of the defendants’ call centers and homes. Because of this, they confiscated computer equipment, storage media, bank cards, mobile terminals, documents, records of the defrauded people and those they planned to defraud.

The organizer of the scheme and seven of his accomplices were detained. They were declared suspected of creating a criminal organization (parts 1, 2 of article 255 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine) and fraud (parts 3, 4 of article 190 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine). They face up to 12 years in prison.

Earlier in Zaporozhye, law enforcement officials stopped the activities of a fraudulent call center. Its employees lured Ukrainians out of money, posing as bank employees.

It was also reported about the exposure of Kharkiv residents who used POS-terminals for fraud.
