Under the procedural guidance of the Galician District Prosecutor’s Office of the city of Lviv, an indictment was sent to the court against a 30-year-old man for fraud (Part 3, Article 190 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine).
The investigation established that the accused, who is held in one of the pre-trial detention centers of the Lviv region, had organized a criminal fraud scheme.
The man created fake accounts on social networks, where he uploaded false ads about raising funds for treatment. The impersonator randomly searched for user pages on the Internet and extorted money from them through correspondence and calls.
Each time, the man introduced himself under different fictitious names, and asked the victims to transfer money for the treatment of a wounded serviceman or the treatment of a minor child.
4 facts of money transfer to his bank card for the total amount of UAH 3,000 have been documented.
The pre-trial investigation was carried out by the investigators of the Lviv District Police Department No. 1 of the GU NP in the Lviv region.
Note: in accordance with Art. 62 of the Constitution of Ukraine, a person is considered innocent of committing a crime and cannot be subjected to criminal punishment until his guilt is proven in a legal manner and established by a court verdict.
