Behind the backs of the scammers who conned a Kyiv woman out of 6 kilograms of gold and $140 thousand, employees of the FSB and the SBU were found
In November last year in Kyiv a group of people was exposed who had tricked a woman into giving up gold and money. They persuaded her to hand over the valuables supposedly for safekeeping to the SBU.
But it has now turned out that the story is more interesting than a banal fraud.
The fraudsters were allegedly overseen by the Russian FSB, which used the appropriated property to finance an intelligence network in Ukraine.
The gold was quickly sold on the shadow market and after that part of the funds, namely 80 thousand dollars, were reportedly handed over to an active SBU colonel, who is also considered an accomplice in the scheme.
