In the Lviv region, law enforcement officers informed a couple about suspicion of fraud
The perpetrators were exposed by the operatives of the Cybercrime Countermeasures Office in the Lviv Region together with the investigators of the Yavoriv District Police Department, under the procedural guidance of the Yavoriv District Prosecutor’s Office.
As the law enforcement officers established, a 27-year-old man and his 24-year-old wife, residents of one of the villages of the Yavoriv district, posted an announcement on the Internet about the production of driver’s licenses.
However, after the victims transferred the funds, the suspects stopped contacting them. In addition, in order to hide the origin of funds obtained through criminal means, the perpetrators used a bank card that was opened in the name of another person. And they already transferred money from it to their own accounts.
The investigators informed the perpetrators of the suspicion of criminal offenses provided for in part 3 of article 190 (Fraud) and part 2 of article 209 (Legalization (laundering) of proceeds obtained through crime) of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. The maximum punishment provided by the sanctions of the articles is imprisonment for a term of up to twelve years with confiscation of property.
The pre-trial investigation is ongoing.
