In Kiev, the sommelier of the restaurant appropriated UAH 1.7 million and lost them in casino

In Kiev, 34-year-old sommelier of one of the prestigious restaurants is suspected of large-scale fraud. According to the police, he persuaded management, colleagues and regular customers to invest in a "profitable scheme" to buy elite alcohol, promising large earnings on resale with drinks of VIP clients.

Instead of the promised purchase of wines and cognacs, the man spent money entrusted to him online. In general, as investigators were installed, the attacker appropriated over UAH 1.7 million. Among the victims are seven people, each of whom invested an average of $ 6,000. None of them saw either alcohol or promised profit.

The person has already reported suspicion under Part 4 of Art. 190 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine - fraud in particularly large sizes. If he is guilty in court, he faces up to 8 years in prison.

Law enforcement officers urge citizens to be careful and to carefully check where and to whom they invest the money, even when it comes to acquaintances or allegedly reliable employees of elite institutions.
