Fraud amounting to 30 thousand US dollars
A Kyiv resident has been informed of suspicion in a fraud case amounting to 30 thousand US dollars, which was committed under the pretext of supplying drones for the Armed Forces of Ukraine. According to law enforcement, the fraud was committed on a particularly large scale, repeatedly, in conditions of martial law. The actions of the suspect were qualified under part 5 of Article 190 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.
Details of the case
According to investigation materials, in September 2023, a 35-year-old Kyiv resident received this amount, promising to purchase six Mavik 3t quadcopters. It is known that the man already has a criminal record: in 2017, he was sentenced to 5 years and 6 months in prison for similar fraud. In addition, the suspect collected over 200 thousand US dollars, offering to bring iPhones from abroad.
Currently, the court has chosen a preventive measure for the suspect in the form of detention with the possibility of bail set at 1,097,058 hryvnias. The case is still under investigation, and law enforcement urges citizens to be cautious when carrying out financial transactions to avoid fraudulent schemes.
This case highlights the relevance of the fraud problem in Ukraine, especially in wartime conditions when society needs support and assistance. Law enforcement pays attention to the necessity of raising citizen awareness about financial risks and fraudulent schemes that may threaten their well-being.
It is important for people to be attentive and careful when making financial transactions, especially in conditions of increased risk.
