The director of a company that was supposed to purchase drones abroad for a Ukrainian company has been suspected of fraud. After receiving 28 million hryvnias from the customer, he did not deliver a single drone, but instead converted the funds to dollars and transferred them to the accounts of shell companies in Slovakia. The director's father has also been detained in the case and has been suspected of fraud. They are hiding abroad, but the police are looking for them.
This drone fraud scheme only highlights the importance of monitoring financial transactions and serves as a reminder of the risks involved in dealing with unreliable partners.
