In Ternopil, law enforcement officers exposed a fraudulent scheme in which a 40-year-old resident was deceived by a large amount of money. The attacker promised the residents of Kiev to assist in the registration of documents related to the mobilization of her husband. For his "assistance" he demanded $ 15,000, and later - another $ 2,800.
According to the victim, this "mediator" was advised by acquaintances, assured that he has influence and connections that allegedly allow to resolve the "issue" about the service. After receiving the first part of the money, the man insisted on an additional amount.
During the transfer of the second part of the money, the operatives of the criminal investigation detained the attacker. He was informed of suspicion under Article 190 (4) of the Criminal Code of Ukraine - fraud committed in particularly large amounts.
The sanction of the article provides for imprisonment for up to eight years. The pre -trial investigation is ongoing, and the procedural leadership is carried out by the Ternopil District Prosecutor's Office.
Law enforcement officers urge citizens not to trust strangers who promise to "resolve" legal or military issues for money, and only to address the official bodies.
