Armed criminal group of raiders exposed in Kyiv
Law enforcers exposed the criminal activities of the organized group. Its organizer was a Kiev resident, who attracted 5 more people to the “work”.
According to law enforcement officials, members of the criminal organization carried out a raiding seizure of six parking lots on the territory of Kyiv. Parking spaces are in the use of limited liability companies according to lease agreements with KP “Kyivatosparkservice”.
In order to force entrepreneurs to transfer business rights, those involved threatened the victims of physical violence and beatings. So, through threats and intimidation, the attackers gained access and the ability to actually collect money from car owners for the rental of parking spaces.
In parking lots, intruders put their managers, who appropriated all the profits, while the real owners were left with nothing. The estimated damage caused to legal entities from this illegal activity for half a year is more than 1.5 million UAH.
The police detained six people, including the organizer, conducted 39 searches of the places of residence of the defendants, garage and cottage cooperatives, cars and seized evidence of criminal activity: money, draft records, mobile phones, flash drives, firearms and ammunition supplies without permits provided by law.
According to this fact, the investigative department of the Pechersk police department initiated criminal proceedings under Part 4 of Art. 189 - extortion, parts 1 and 2 of Art. 255 - creation, leadership of a criminal community or criminal organization, as well as participation in it, part 1 of Art. 263 - illegal handling of weapons, ammunition or withdrawal intoxicants of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.
Detainees were informed of suspicion of committing these crimes. The court took precautions for the suspects in the form of round-the-clock house arrest with the wearing of electronic bracelets.
