Operation “Carthage”: SAP and NABU exposed a new criminal organization
Under the procedural guidance of SAP prosecutors, NABU detectives, as part of Operation “Carthage,” exposed a criminal organization whose members arranged the systematic provision of improper benefits to high-ranking officials of law enforcement agencies in exchange for unhindered operation of fraudulent call centers and other illegal businesses. The organization included at least 12 persons.
The pretrial investigation established that the organizer of the criminal organization, who had previously been convicted multiple times, involved current high-ranking officials of the Security Service of Ukraine, the Office of the Prosecutor General, the National Police, as well as representatives of the criminal underworld in the illegal activities.
This ensured the unhindered functioning of fraudulent call centers that defrauded citizens of Ukraine and foreigners, the sale of narcotic substances, as well as the illegal production of counterfeit cigarettes and forged foreign currency.
In addition, the involvement of the criminal organization’s members in assaults, kidnappings, and inflicting bodily harm on persons in the interests of the criminal organization was established.
It should be noted that, according to the investigation, the criminal organization used corrupt ties within law enforcement agencies to protect illegal activities and obtain shadow profits.
The investigation is ongoing.
