Under the procedural leadership of the Lviv Regional Prosecutor’s Office, two men were exposed and reported on suspicion of fraudulently acquiring someone else’s property (parts 3, 4 of Article 190 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine).
According to the investigation, residents of the Kyiv region have established a criminal “scheme” for fraudulently misappropriating goods. So, in June of this year, the latter, under the pretext of goods transportation, seized fish products worth more than UAH 550,000. According to the logistics route, the goods were supposed to be transported to the Cherkasy region, but the perpetrators changed the license plates of the truck and, using false technical passports and driver’s licenses, transported the cargo to Kyiv.
The suspects were detained in accordance with Art. 208 of the Criminal Procedure Code of Ukraine during another attempt to fraudulently seize a cargo of oil, worth 1.2 million UAH, during its transportation from Cherkasy to Zakarpattia region.
As a result of the searches, products, various state license plates, reflective stickers and the truck itself were discovered and seized.
Currently, the suspects have been remanded in custody. Other persons involved in the commission of the specified criminal offense are identified.
The denunciation operation was carried out by prosecutors together with the investigators of the State Security Service of the NP in the Lviv region, under the operational support of the USR in the Lviv region of the DSR of the NP of Ukraine.
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.
