A network of illegal currency exchange offices was uncovered in Kyiv: more than 7 million hryvnias were seized

In the capital, BEB detectives uncovered a network of currency exchange offices that were operating without the necessary permits and legal registration.

During the raids, law enforcement officers seized over 1.4 million hryvnias, nearly $125,000, and 7,000 euros—a total of over 7 million hryvnias in equivalent value.

According to the investigation, the exchange offices did not properly use cash registers and issued fake fiscal receipts to customers. The offices themselves were not listed in the relevant state registry and were not authorized to conduct transactions involving foreign currency in cash.

The investigation is ongoing, and the case materials will be forwarded for the imposition of financial sanctions.
