The capital has an organized criminal group that, using counterfeit documents and fictitious companies, has appropriated UAH 56 million. The funds were received in the form of loans and leasing through manipulations with property, fake passports and fictional legal transactions.
The editorial board 368.Media has access to criminal proceedings under the articles of Part 2 of Art. 15, Part 5 of Art. 190, Part 3 of Art. 209 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.
In 2017, the fraudster and his brother took possession of Matrix-Group LLC (EDRPOU 40000514), using the passport of a resident of Lugansk region, to which the company was reformed. Subsequently, other fictitious persons were used: Oleg Prokopyuk, Alexander Zamula and Igor Kostromin. Their documents were also fake - the attackers glued their photos into other people's passports.
During 2019-2022, the organizer of the scam, having experience in business, created a fictitious positive credit history, increasing the firm's limit in Altbank to 29 million UAH. In the future, the group gave counterfeit documents to the "production line" to use it as a pledge - and received:
-
26.7 million UAH under the renewable credit line contract,
-
UAH 3.97 million - under the contract of overdraft.
The new victim is the "Tekom Leasing"
No later than November 2020, the organizers decided to seize the funds of the company Tekom Lyzing (Odesa, EDRPOU 33509465). Under the guise of supplying the injection machine, the Toshiba IS-550 GSW (Japan) was concluded a contract of UAH 24.6 million between Manatik and Tekom Lising.
Production equipment, which was transferred under the conditions of leasing of Astra-Mash LLC, did not actually exist or was completely different property. It was "meant" at: Kyiv region, p. Chernorodka, vul. Irpinskaya, 1.
The act of final fraud is fake theft
In February 2023, the organizer of the scam, introducing the director of the Matrix Group, filed a statement to the police for the theft of equipment. This gave reason to contact the insurance company "USG" for compensation. However, the insurer refused payment due to lack of grounds.
