A network of fraudulent call centers was uncovered in Dnipro: 19 suspects, including two organizers, are already in custody
According to Ukrinform, law enforcement uncovered a network of fraudulent call centers in Dnipro. As part of the criminal proceedings, 19 people were detained, including two organizers. All were notified of suspicion under Art. 255-4 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine — creating an organized group for electronic communication fraud, leading it or participating in it.
The scheme participants used mass messages on Telegram and Viber about alleged winnings, opened bank accounts and cards in the names of straw persons, and withdrew the proceeds through ATMs and converted them into cryptocurrency. Part of the money was used to purchase real estate, premium-class cars, expensive watches, and jewelry.
During 21 searches, cash in hryvnias and foreign currency, weapons and ammunition, 158 mobile phones, 35 items of computer equipment, bank cards, SIM cards, two Starlink kits, and nine cars, including an AUDI S8, AUDI RS7, BMW X6M and a Toyota Land Cruiser 200, were seized.
All 19 suspects are in custody. The prosecutor’s office insisted that each be held without the right to post bail.
