Details
The investigation established that a 49-year-old resident of Dnipro, along with his brother and son, set up a "business". For this, they developed a clear plan of action with a division of roles and involved trusted individuals from several regions of Ukraine.
Some of the participants in the criminal group were responsible for the necessary equipment and unlicensed software, while another part of the criminals were engaged in searching for valid official document blanks, entering false information and holographic protective elements into them.
Then the attackers placed advertisements for customers in messengers and contacted clients. They transferred fake documents by mail with conspiracy maintained - fictional surnames and mobile phones were indicated in the shipping receipt.
Law enforcement officers conducted 40 searches in 8 regions of Ukraine and in Kyiv. As a result of the searches, forged documents of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the National Police, bank cards, forged invoices, weapons, ammunition, and office equipment were seized. They also impounded 4 cars.
The detainees were notified of suspicion under several articles of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. In particular, they are accused of creating, leading, and participating in a criminal organization, manufacturing and selling holographic protective elements, as well as forging, selling, and using forged documents.
The organizer and three other members of the criminal organization were remanded in custody, while the others were remanded in custody with the option of bail.
