Be outside the country, the malefactor, together with his accomplices, created a financial pyramid. Under the cover of the supply of drones for the front, they made money from volunteers, philanthropists, IT companies and ordinary citizens. Instead of technique - fake documents, invented logistics problems and counterfeit guarantees. Total losses have exceeded UAH 50 million - the cost of more than 600 modern drones that could work on the front line.
In February 2024, law enforcement officers exposed a criminal scheme. Investigators documented 99 episodes of fraud, conducted dozens of investigative actions, established international relations in the UAE, Turkey and the Russian Federation. The investigation has arrested assets for more than 20 million hryvnias: apartments, cars, bills and cryptocurrency. The organizer is now in custody in Ukraine. She faces up to 12 years in prison with confiscation of property.
