11 million UAH for the right to do business and a monthly “tribute”: in Zakarpattia two members of a criminal group were convicted
Prosecutors of the Zakarpattia Regional Prosecutor's Office proved the guilt of two members of a group that systematically extorted money from entrepreneurs and local residents.
A co-organizer was sentenced to 8 years 6 months of imprisonment, one of the perpetrators to 7 years 6 months.
The group consisted of four people. Presenting themselves as local criminal authorities, they extorted money for the ability to conduct business without obstacles, fabricated debts, and contributions to the criminal “common fund.”
They threatened the victims with violence and reprisals.
In particular, they demanded 11 million UAH from entrepreneurs for the opportunity to operate without hindrance. An international carrier was forced to pay 2 thousand US dollars and thereafter to hand over an additional 200 dollars monthly to the criminal “common fund.”
From another man they demanded 7 thousand US dollars for a non-existent debt, and they threatened another with reprisals, demanding 47 thousand dollars for a card debt.
In just 2020 year the group planned to obtain more than 464 thousand US dollars in total.
In August 2020 the members were detained while handing over money.
