Fraudsters withdrew more than 3.2 million hryvnias from a bank: police busted the group

Law enforcement officials have uncovered a group of four residents of the Kirovohrad and Odesa regions who are suspected of embezzling more than 3.2 million hryvnias from a Ukrainian bank.

According to the investigation, the suspects recruited two people to open bank accounts, after which they carried out nearly 300 illegal transactions to top up more than 150 mobile phone numbers under their control. They transferred the funds to bank cards under their control, withdrew the money via ATMs, and divided the proceeds among themselves.

During searches in the Kirovohrad and Odesa regions, police seized cell phones, flash drives, SIM cards, a bank card, and other physical evidence.

Currently, all four suspects have been notified of the charges against them.
