In the Khmelnytskyi region, a woman embezzled nearly 8,000 euros from her own daughter

A 42-year-old resident of the Krasyliv community in the Khmelnytskyi region has been notified that she is suspected of fraud. The woman received nearly 8,000 euros from her 24-year-old daughter, which she was supposed to keep in a bank deposit account, but instead spent the money on her own needs.

For three years, the daughter had been sending her mother money she earned in Italy.

According to the investigation, in 2022, the suspect’s daughter traveled to Italy, where she found a job. The 24-year-old woman sent part of her earnings to her mother and asked her to open a savings account to keep her savings there.

The mother told her daughter that she had opened the account, but in reality, she spent the money on her own needs.

“Over the course of nearly three years, the daughter transferred about 8,000 euros to her mother. At the National Bank of Ukraine’s exchange rate at the time of the transfers, this amounted to over 330,000 hryvnias,” law enforcement officials reported.

Investigators charged the 42-year-old woman under Part 3 of Article 190 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (fraud). The penalty for this offense is a fine or imprisonment for three to five years.

This was reported on Wednesday, September 23, by the press services of the Khmelnytskyi regional police and prosecutor’s office.
