As a result
of a special operation in Kyiv region, the SSU dismantled an organized criminal
group that worked for russian special services. The criminals set up a
mechanism to transfer money from russia to the territory of our state through
the sanctioned payment systems.
According to the investigation, the scheme was
used by enemy agents to receive funds from their russian supervisors for
subversive activities against Ukraine.
During the searches, the SSU found over UAH 13
mln (USD 440,000) as well as computer equipment and documents with evidence of
illegal activity.
The group included three residents of Kyiv
region. They created a network of anonymous Internet platforms through which
they received ‘orders’ to buy, sell or exchange electronic money from banned
russian systems. They carried out illegal transactions in their own currency
exchange office.
The organizer of the scheme has been notified
of suspicion under Article 200.1 (illegal actions with documents for transfer,
payment cards and other means of access to bank accounts, electronic money,
equipment for their production) of the CCU.
The pre-trial investigation is underway.
The SSU Cyber Security Department carried out
the operation together with the National Police and under the procedural
supervision of Kyiv City Prosecutor’s Office.
