Investigators of the National Police uncovered a fraudulent scheme to seize 1.5 million US dollars under the guise of reconstruction of the recreation center
The attackers received funds from a representative of another state to invest in a future business project — reconstruction of a recreation center on the territory of the city. Koblevo, Nikolaev area. However, the received funds were not spent by the attackers for their intended purpose.
The group included representatives of a legal entity, lawyers and BTI officials. Investigators found that from 2010 to 2014, the attackers took funds in a mortgage loan from a representative of a foreign investor for the reconstruction of the recreation center with the obligation to return them in 2012. Instead, the borrowers spent the funds not as intended, and the base was issued to another person to avoid recovery in favor of the victim.
Investigators of the Main Investigative Department of the National Police of Ukraine, with the prompt support of the employees of the Main Directorate of the National Police in the Nikolaev area under the procedural guidance of the Office of the Prosecutor General, carry out investigative actions on the places of residence of the defendants and conduct illegal activities. The events are carried out within the framework of a pre-trial investigation opened on the fact of a criminal offense provided for in Part 4 of Art. 190 (fraud committed on a particularly large scale) of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.
Violators face punishment in the form of imprisonment with confiscation of property for up to 12 years. The involvement of other persons in the illegal activities of the group is currently being established.
