The National Police of Ukraine, together with European law enforcement, have uncovered a criminal group defrauding EU citizens.
The fraudsters created fake trading platforms and a call center in Kyiv. They persuaded EU citizens to invest in fictitious investments. Just five victims lost more than 8.2 million UAH.
During the special operation, 21 searches were conducted. Cash was seized: over 1.4 million dollars, 5.8 million UAH, and 17 thousand euros. Computer equipment and data carriers were also confiscated.
Three key members of the group have been charged with fraud. Fifteen more people involved in the crime have been identified.
“We continue to systematically identify and stop transnational fraudulent schemes,” – noted the National Police.
