The police exposed a previously convicted criminal who fraudulently extorted a significant amount of money from a Lviv woman<\/p>\n
According to the law enforcement officers, the victim gave a stranger 35,000 hryvnias allegedly for an urgent operation on her son, who, according to the perpetrator, was injured in a traffic accident.<\/p>\n
On August 30, around 7:00 p.m., a stranger called the victim, a resident of Lviv, on her mobile phone and informed her that her son was involved in a traffic accident, was injured and needed money for an urgent operation.
