As it became known, the cyber police along with investigators of the police of the Lviv region, under the procedural leadership of the local prosecutor’s office, stopped the illegal activities of the financial exchange, which illegally seized the money of depositors, the National Police said .
“Organized a financial exchange in Lviv, a 28-year-old foreign citizen temporarily residing in Ukraine. To attract new investors, the man created a call center, whose employees spoke freely in Polish, English and Italian. This allowed attackers to attract not only Ukrainians, but also citizens of European countries to the financial exchange , ”law enforcement officials noted.
Law enforcement officers found that the attackers suggested that people invest in financial transactions that were supposed to bring high profits. The amount of investment reached from € 300 to € 5 thousand. As a rule, only the first financial transactions were profitable. After investing large amounts of money, depositors were not returned.
Law enforcement officers searched the location of the call center. Computer evidence, memory cards, hard drives, and accounting documents were seized as material evidence. Now a full circle of injured persons and the final amount of losses are being established.
On this fact, criminal proceedings have been instituted under Part 3 of Article 190 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. The sanction of the article provides for imprisonment of up to eight years. The investigation continues.
