In Kyiv, a bank employee is suspected of transferring at least UAH 500,000 from the accounts of deceased clients to herself. For the past 5 years, the suspect has worked in five different banks. This was reported by the Kyiv City Prosecutor's Office, according to UNN.
Details
"Under the procedural guidance of the Pechersk District Prosecutor's Office of Kyiv, a 35-year-old bank employee who transferred money from the accounts of deceased bank clients to her own has been notified of suspicion," the prosecutor's office informs.
It is reported that the woman held the position of premium banking expert at one of the capital's commercial banks. It was established that the suspect, during 2020-2021, accessed client accounts and changed the financial phone numbers linked to the accounts to numbers under her control. Subsequently, she transferred money from the accounts of deceased clients to her own accounts.
Currently, six such incidents totaling approximately 500,000 hryvnias have been documented. It should be noted that the woman did not transfer all the money from client accounts at once, but in parts, starting with amounts of 10-20 thousand hryvnias. This way, she managed not to attract attention to the transactions.
The prosecutor's office indicates that the suspect has worked in five different banks over the past 5 years. Investigative actions are ongoing, and the woman's involvement in similar frauds with other clients' accounts is being checked.
Currently, the bank employee has been notified of suspicion under three articles: Part 3 of Article 190 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (Fraud); Part 1 of Article 200 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (Illegal actions with payment documents); and Part 1 of Article 362 (Unauthorized interference with computer systems) of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.

The perpetrators disguised themselves as bank employees and representatives of law enforcement agencies, extorting data for access to online banking.
