Members of the OZG who “sold” non-existent fuel coupons to the victims from the detention center will appear before the court in Khmelnytskyi Oblast
For a crime, offenders may face up to 12 years in prison with confiscation of property.
Recall that in July of this year, the operatives of the Strategic Investigations Department together with the investigators of the investigative department of the GUNP in Khmelnytsky region, colleagues from the USBU, with the support of the administration of the State Administrative Service “Khmelnytsky Investigative Isolator” and under the procedural guidance of the prosecutor's office exposed the organized criminal group scam of Paradise, which operated from the detention center.
The group consisted of two men aged 45 and 42 and a 21-year-old woman. All of them had previously had problems with the law and met in the detention center.
According to the previous conspiracy, they created a fictitious call center and lured funds from citizens under the pretext of selling via the Internet at a favorable price of coupons for diesel fuel and gasoline, as well as spare parts for vehicles.
During the commission of fraudulent actions, the men were in the detention center and were looking for potential victims. And the woman, being at large, played the role of a gas station worker and directly received funds from those who wanted to buy fuel coupons at low prices, after which she disappeared in an unknown direction. The victims were left with nothing.
Criminally obtained funds, the attackers distributed among themselves. In addition, part of the money was transferred to replenish the so-called “thieves' community” and used to illegally purchase and supply drugs and psychotropic substances to the detention center for further sale among prisoners.
During the investigation, law enforcement officers conducted six authorized searches of persons involved in the commission of a criminal offense. In some of them, to ensure the unhindered work of investigators, they even had to involve the special unit KORD.
As a result of searches, police officers seized mobile phones, mobile SIM cards, rough records of intruders.
At the moment, investigators of the investigative department of the GUNP in Khmelnytsky region have already completed the pre-trial investigation in criminal proceedings. Indictment under Part 4 of Art. 190 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (Fraud committed on a particularly large scale or by an organized group) has already been referred to the court. And a woman who, while at large, supplied narcotic substances to the detention center, will also have to answer for part 2 of Art. 307 (Illegal sale of narcotic drugs, psychotropic substances or their analogues) of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.
