The criminal group, consisting of at least 60 people, mainly Ukrainian citizens, was liquidated after a year of investigation.
According to information received from Le Figaro, the perpetrators committed crimes by renting cars in various European countries and illegally selling them in the United Arab Emirates.
The first actions of the gang date back to August 2022.
According to the publication, criminals sent women to agencies with false documents to rent cars: they paid to rent expensive cars, and then disappeared.
After that, the cars went to the UAE, as well as to Eastern Europe, where they were sold illegally. According to Le Figaro, the losses of European companies are estimated at €2 million.
