In Kiev, law enforcement officers exposed and detained two men who organized a scheme with fake currency exchange, using online ownerships to lure large amounts of money in citizens.
As reported in the Kyiv Police Communication Department, the attackers posted on the Internet attractive exchange of currency exchange at the exchange rate, more beneficial than banking. One of these cases happened when a woman handed over $ 21,900. After receiving the money, the pseudo -exchanger tried to escape, but was detained by law enforcement. His accomplice was also grabbed promptly.
During the searches in the places of residence of the detainees, the police removed cash and other evidence confirming their involvement in criminal activity. Law enforcement officers also found that the same persons committed another robbery - a month earlier they took over $ 30,000 from a resident of the capital.
Both men were informed of suspicion under Part 4 of Art. 186 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine - a robbery committed in large sizes in the conditions of martial law. This is one of the most strict qualifications that involves up to 10 years in prison.
The court chose a pre -trial detention measure, but provided for bail.
Police urge citizens to be careful when conducting foreign exchange transactions and using only proven financial institutions.
