Dnipro region to try criminal group that defrauded people of almost a million hryvnias

Prosecutors from the Dnipropetrovsk Regional Prosecutor's Office have sent an indictment to court regarding three members of an organized group involved in fraud. This information was provided by the press service of the Dnipropetrovsk Regional Prosecutor's Office.

Residents of the city of Kamianske posted advertisements on online platforms for the sale of computer equipment, household appliances, and generators at very attractive prices. Buyers made advance payments for the goods to the scammers' bank cards but did not receive the products, and communication with the scammers ceased.

As a result, the criminal group deceived over 60 individuals from various regions of Ukraine, with the total amount of damages reaching nearly one million hryvnias.

Law enforcement conducted more than 10 searches at the residences of group members and seized bank cards, phones, SIM cards, cash, and draft notes. Currently, the criminals are in custody, and their immovable property has been arrested.

In related news, a metropolitan of the Vinnytsia diocese of the UOC-MP (Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate) was sentenced to five years in prison. The man supported the war in Ukraine and called for changes to the borders of our country. He distributed propaganda leaflets among believers, urging the seizure of power and changes to the state border of Ukraine.
