04.08.2025
According to the investigation, a 20-year-old resident of Dnipro, in collusion with other individuals, developed a criminal plan for illegal enrichment. They called a man who is a serviceman of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and, posing as bank employees, informed him about alleged illegal actions regarding his bank account. The perpetrators obtained the necessary information from the victim, "linked" his card to their electronic wallet, and spent more than 950,000 UAH of the serviceman's money.
In particular, the suspect purchased expensive equipment in one of the stores in Rivne: 11 mobile phones, 7 chargers, 3 pairs of wireless headphones, as well as a gaming console, a laptop, and a hair straightener. The rest of the money was withdrawn in cash at gas stations in the regional center.
Under the procedural guidance of the Rivne District Prosecutor's Office, the resident of Dnipro has been notified of suspicion of fraud (Part 2 of Article 28, Part 5 of Article 190 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine). The Rivne City Court has remanded the suspect in custody for 60 days with the right to post bail in the amount of 605,600 UAH.
Currently, investigative and procedural actions are ongoing in the criminal proceedings, and all circumstances of the crime and the circle of involved persons are being established.
The pre-trial investigation is being conducted by investigators of the Rivne District Police Department of the Main Directorate of the National Police in the region.
Note: according to Article 62 of the Constitution of Ukraine, a person is presumed innocent of committing a crime and cannot be subjected to criminal punishment until their guilt is proven in a lawful manner and established by a court verdict.
