As reported by prosecutors, the pre-trial investigation established that from June to October 2023, a group of individuals created a fraudulent scheme. Taking advantage of the high demand for drones, they took money from citizens and philanthropists, promising to supply aerial reconnaissance equipment for the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
In February 2024, prosecutors notified three defendants of suspicion. At the request of the prosecution, one of them was taken into custody, another was placed under round-the-clock house arrest by the court, and the organizer of the scheme was put on an international wanted list.
They added that in June 2025, she was detained in the United Arab Emirates.
She has now been extradited to Ukraine to face criminal charges for the crimes committed.
An indictment against two accomplices has also been sent to court. The materials regarding the organizer have been separated into a separate proceeding.
