Law enforcement officers completed a pre-trial investigation in the case of a 59-year-old resident of Kyiv region, who established the sale of counterfeit bills and engaged in the illegal circulation of counterfeit national and foreign currency. The indictment was transferred to court. This was reported by the Kyiv Regional Prosecutor's Office.
According to the investigation, the man did not act on his own - he worked in an organized group that systematically sold counterfeit money. The currency was made using high quality technologies, which complicated its detection by unprepared persons.

During the searches, the defendants seized counterfeit money worth more than UAH 2.3 million in terms of recalculation. Expertise confirmed that the bills are not real and made in violation of the National Bank technology.
The man is charged with the re -commission of crimes within a group of persons under the articles of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, which provide for responsibility for the production, storage and sale of false currency. He is threatened with long -term imprisonment.
