Kharkiv resident served a notice of suspicion of defrauding entrepreneur of almost UAH 1.6 million
Under the procedural supervision of prosecutors of the Frankivsk District Prosecutor’s Office of Lviv, a 34-year-old Kharkiv resident was served a notice of suspicion of fraud on a large scale (Part 4 Art. 190 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine).
According to the investigation, the suspect implemented a fraudulent scheme to seize other people’s property in 2021-2023.
To do this, the man searched for an entrepreneur on the Internet and established business cooperation with him. The defendant promised to buy him quadcopters and game consoles. However, having received the deposit, he failed to fulfil his obligations.
In addition, the suspect provided the victim with the contacts of another “partner’s” account, which allegedly bought computer equipment and gadgets from the latter. However, it was a fake account of the suspect himself. The man sent the order by post, believing that the latter would return the money later.
Thus, the Kharkiv man took possession of his goods.
The total amount of misappropriated funds and property is almost UAH 1.6 million.
The investigation is ongoing.
The pre-trial investigation in the criminal proceedings is being carried out by investigators of the Lviv District Police Department No. 2 of the Main Department of the National Police in Lviv region, with the operational support of the Cybercrime Department in Lviv region of the Cyber Police Department of the National Police of Ukraine.
Note: Pursuant to Article 62 of the Constitution of Ukraine, a person is presumed innocent of committing a crime and shall not be subjected to criminal punishment until his or her guilt is proved by law and established by a court verdict of guilty.
