Foreign nationals will stand trial in Odessa for large-scale distribution of counterfeit dollars
The National Police has concluded its investigation into a group of foreign nationals who organized a network for the supply and sale of counterfeit U.S. currency.
This was reported by the National Police of Ukraine.
The perpetrators specialized in selling counterfeit $100 bills, which they brought into Ukraine from abroad for subsequent distribution.
The accomplices operated in Odesa, where they established a base for their illegal activities. According to the investigation, the suspects sold the counterfeit currency at a price amounting to only 30% of its official face value.
The bills seized during searches and arrests underwent expert analysis, which confirmed their high quality.
Experts note that these were high-quality counterfeits that were virtually indistinguishable from genuine currency without special equipment.
The members of the criminal group were arrested in February 2025 while attempting to sell another batch of currency.
Operatives documented the transfer of 10,000 counterfeit dollars, after which the “businessmen” were taken into custody.
