Kharkiv cyber police, together with German law enforcement officers, exposed one of the organizers of a transnational fraudulent group that caused damage of more than 600 thousand euros. This was reported to the police. Thus, a 40-year-old citizen of Ukraine, together with a citizen of Moldova, organized a scheme for fraudulently taking the money of EU citizens, in which people from EU countries and neighboring countries were attracted.
Taking advantage of the trusting attitude of residents of European countries to online purchases, they, having previously taken possession of the data of stolen bank cards, ordered goods on the network in the amount of several thousand euros per operation. They paid for the goods using the cards of the victims, and later, through a specially organized network of sales agents, they sold them in Eastern European countries. The transnational criminal group operated on the territory of the EU and Ukraine for three years, during this period the organizers managed to seize the funds of EU citizens in the amount of more than 600 thousand euros.
As part of the criminal proceedings, the cyber police of the Kharkiv region, with the participation of members of the international investigative and operational group, conducted searches at the place of residence of the person involved and seized the equipment with which the fraudulent actions were committed. The defendant was detained by the border guards of Poland on an arrest warrant from law enforcement agencies of Germany, while crossing the border with the Republic of Belarus. The other co-organizer has the status of a defendant under investigation by the German police, where he is in custody.
