An international fraud scheme involving the sale of metal products was uncovered in Kryvyi Rih
In Kryvyi Rih, police uncovered an international fraud scheme in which the perpetrators posed as representatives of a major steel giant and defrauded foreign companies of nearly 7 million hryvnias. The criminals entered into fictitious contracts for the supply of steel products and embezzled the funds received.
This was reported by the National Police of Ukraine.
The fraudsters used forged documents, fake quality certificates, and even claimed to have the backing of a “supervisor” in Kryvyi Rih. The organizer of the scheme has been notified of the charges against him.
According to the investigation, the “scheme” was organized by a 38-year-old resident of Kryvyi Rih. The man presented himself as a manager of one of the region’s major metallurgical enterprises. Together with his accomplices, he set up a fictitious intermediary company in Poland, through which the sale of metallurgical products was allegedly carried out to foreign companies interested in purchasing rolled metal products—rebar, channel bars, and other products.
The suspects transferred the funds obtained through criminal means via accounts under their control in the United Arab Emirates and distributed them among all members of the group.
