Under the procedural guidance of the Dnipropetrovsk Regional Prosecutor's Office, an indictment has been sent to court against six members of an organized group for fraud (Part 5 of Article 190 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine).

The investigation established that the accused developed a criminal scheme aimed at seizing funds from elderly citizens through deception.

To this end, they created a "call center" in the city of Dnipro, where they operated under the guise of employees of the Pension Fund of Ukraine and the State Enforcement Service. The group members provided false information about an alleged debt for the order of medical products and demanded payment to avoid a "fine."

Victims were offered to purchase goods, which were actually biologically active supplements, at a price ranging from 1100 to 1700 UAH, assuring them that after this, the "claims of the medical center" would be annulled.

In this way, the fraudsters deceived 26 citizens for a total amount of over 150,000 UAH across the territory of Ukraine.

The pre-trial investigation was conducted by investigators of the Main Directorate of the National Police in the Dnipropetrovsk region, with operational support from the Security Service of Ukraine in the region.
