“Covering” call centers and laundering assets: a criminal organization headed by an official of the Office of the Prosecutor General exposed👥
The NABU and SAP exposed a criminal organization whose members systematically received illicit gains from fraudulent call centers and laundered millions in assets. The organizer of the scheme turned out to be one of the heads of the structural divisions of the Office of the Prosecutor General.
According to the investigation, the OPG official created and headed the criminal organization in the middle of 2025 year. He involved both serving employees of the prosecutor’s offices and informal associates close to him in the unlawful activities.
Members of the criminal organization established a mechanism for systematically receiving bribes to refrain from interfering with the illegal activities of so‑called call centers. These shadow structures carried out fraudulent actions on a large scale, which harmed both Ukrainian citizens and foreigners.
Funds obtained through criminal means were legalized by the suspects through a number of schemes.
More than 20 million UAH were spent on purchasing real estate, jewelry, and valuable movable property.
Assets totaling more than 12 million UAH (minimum market value) were legalized by the organization’s leader through re-registration in the names of third parties to conceal the true ownership. In particular, this concerns real estate in a popular aparthotel complex near the Carpathians.
More than 10 million UAH the group’s members deposited into the bank accounts of their close associates under the guise of legitimate income allegedly received from business activities.
So far, five members of the criminal organization have been exposed.
Preliminary legal qualification: Art. 255 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (creation, leadership of a criminal community or criminal organization, and participation in it); Art. 209 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (legalization (laundering) of property obtained by criminal means).
Investigative actions are ongoing. Other possible members of the criminal organization are being identified.
