Kyiv police officers together with SBU exposed defendants who set up treatment and rehabilitation regimen for militants of illegal armed formations and servicemen of the Russian Federation - Andriy Kryshchenko
Citizens of Ukraine organized in the annexed territory, in the city of Saki, the provision of sanatorium-resort services, and thus established a mechanism for legalization of funds received from illegal business activities in Crimea. During the searches, documentation, seals, stamps and other physical evidence confirming the illegal activities of intruders were seized. A pre-trial investigation is ongoing.
The illegal activities of the defendants in the annexed Crimea were exposed and blocked by the employees of the Investigative Department of the Kyiv Police and the Security Service of Ukraine under the procedural guidance of the Kyiv City Prosecutor's Office.
Kyiv Police Chief Andriy Kryshchenko said that citizens of Ukraine organized the provision of sanatorium and resort services in the annexed city of Saki. In particular, they established a scheme for the treatment and rehabilitation of militants of illegal armed formations and servicemen of the Russian Federation and legalization of funds received from illegal activities:
“The accomplices transferred the money to the territory of Ukraine, and then with the help of conversion centers they withdrew cash and legalized it by conducting financial transactions on the purchase and sale of bonds of internal state loan using financial and insurance companies. During searches in Kyiv, documents, seals, stamps, prints, electronic files with correspondence with accomplices from the Autonomous Republic of Crimea, as well as other items confirming their illegal activities were seized.”
The organizer, a native of the city of Dnipro, born in 1984, and his accomplice, a native of Kyiv region, born in 1986, were informed of suspicion under Part 3 of Article 27, Part 2 of Article 28 and Art. 220-2 (Falsification of financial documents and statements of a financial institution, concealment of the insolvency of a financial institution or grounds for revocation (cancellation) of the license of a financial institution) of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. During the pre-trial investigation, a full circle of persons involved in illegal activities will be established.
