In Lviv region, law enforcement officers exposed a large-scale fraudulent scheme, within which the former heads of the construction and investment company and their subordinates took possession of the money of the trusting citizens, promising them apartments that did not even exist on paper.
According to the Lviv Regional Prosecutor's Office, the suspicion was declared to four persons: the former director of the company, his commercial director and two more employees. According to investigators, scammers organized the sale of property rights to housing in three apartment buildings, which were supposed to be built near Lviv - in one of the villages of Pustomyty district.
For persuasiveness, fraudsters used detailed schemes for planning apartments and homes, placed advertising on the Internet, and also showed potential investors other homes that the company has erected nearby. However, as investigators found out, no permits for the construction of those objects that were advertised were obtained.
Buyers concluded contracts and transferred partial or full cost of housing - but the money did not go into the company's accounts, but disappeared in an unknown direction. In total, the fraudsters managed to assign almost UAH 35 million.
The attackers are charged with fraud, repeatedly, by prior conspiracy by a group of people, in large and especially large sizes. The court has sent a petition for the seizure of property and the election of a suspect of a pre -trial detention.
The investigation is ongoing. Law enforcement officers urge anyone who could suffer from the actions of this company to contact the police.
