Printed fake 500-hryvnia banknotes at home: received 7 years of imprisonment
In the Odesa region, a court found a man guilty who organized the production of counterfeit hryvnias and tried to establish their distribution in the region.
149 counterfeit banknotes with a denomination of 500 hryvnias. It was from this batch that a resident of the city of Artsyz planned to start his illegal business. However, BEB detectives intervened in time and prevented the counterfeit money from entering circulation. The man set up a place at home for producing counterfeit banknotes.
He used computer and copying equipment. And to sell the fake hryvnias in Odesa and the region, he involved two acquaintances who were to find buyers. Detectives of the Territorial Department of the BEB in Odesa region documented three episodes of handing over counterfeit money during controlled purchases.
That was the end of the illegal business. The scheme was stopped at an early stage, and the counterfeit banknotes did not enter everyday circulation among citizens.
The investigation also established that the man spent part of the money from the illegal sales on purchasing computer equipment. This became the basis for an additional charge of legalizing property obtained by criminal means.
The court sentenced the man to 7 years and 3 months of imprisonment with confiscation of property. Also — a fine and a two-year ban on activities related to the production of printing plates and the provision of printing services.
