A fraudster was collecting donations to support the relatives of female singers killed in a Russian missile attack: Zaporizhzhia exposed
Kyiv • UNN
The 24-year-old boyfriend of one of the singers killed in the missile attack raised UAH 280,000, allegedly to support their families. He spent the donations on gambling and is charged with 10 counts of fraud.
In Zaporizhzhia, the swindler was collecting donations in support of native girl singers who died during the Russian missile attack in August of last year. As reported by the Odesa Oblast police, the perpetrator was the boyfriend of one of the victims, who spent about UAH 280,000 in gambling donations, UNN reports.
Details
Last August, the aggressor country's troops launched a missile attack on residential buildings in Zaporizhzhia, killing two female singers aged 19 and 21. They became famous in the city and in Ukraine as a whole thanks to their performances, where they raised funds to support the soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
The boyfriend of one of the dead girls decided to capitalize on the tragedy. The young man set up a "bank" to raise funds, allegedly to support the girls' families and to erect monuments to the victims. In this way, the 24-year-old offender collected almost 280,000 hryvnias from people who cared. He transferred the funds to his account and spent them, in particular, on gambling and online casinos.
According to the police, digital evidence was recorded to serve a notice of suspicion to the defendant under Part 1, 2 of Article 190 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.
Currently, the police are charging the suspect with 10 facts of fraud, and the full range of victims is still being established.

Today, on August 6, a round-the-clock house arrest was imposed on the suspect as a measure of restraint. The pre-trial investigation is ongoing, which may result in additional qualification.
In his turn, Ivan Uhreniuk, Deputy Head of the Cybercrime Department, said: "This is not the only case when fraudsters manipulate people's feelings and cynically use tragic life situations to take possession of their property or money. This year, the police have already exposed and documented the criminal activity of another scammer. Using fake publications in one of the social networks, the offender collected financial aid allegedly for her sister, who suffered as a result of an enemy missile hitting a high-rise building in the city center."
