In Zaporizhia, law enforcement officers have exposed a group of individuals who embezzled humanitarian aid worth over 8 million hryvnias. The scheme involved a deserter, his wife, and two accomplices.
The attackers posed as representatives of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and forged documents to obtain humanitarian aid for the defenders. Priority goods included turnstiles, medicines, thermal underwear, food, and even drones.
The group sold the proceeds through retail and appropriated the funds for itself. To create the appearance of legality, the participants filmed staged videos in military uniforms.
Law enforcement officers have documented the group's illegal activities and are continuing their investigation to establish all the circumstances of the case.
