Charity Head in Lviv Region to Stand Trial for Fraud

The head of one of the charitable organisations in the Lviv Region has been found to be involved in fraud concerning funds intended for the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Cyber police and investigators uncovered that he received over 400,000 UAH from Ukrainian military personnel, which were transferred to bank accounts under his control.

Although he promised to purchase and deliver vehicles for military needs, he failed to fulfil these obligations. Law enforcement officers have completed the pre-trial investigation and have drafted an indictment, which has been sent to court. Such actions could result in a prison sentence of up to five years.
