Details
On February 25, 2025, under the procedural supervision of the Sumy Regional Prosecutor's Office, two residents of Okhtyrka were served a notice of suspicion. The suspects, knowing for sure that the woman receives a monthly financial compensation after the death of her husband, decided to enrich themselves at her expense
It is noted that the men periodically asked the woman to borrow money, while inventing difficult life circumstances.
At first, they allegedly had to pay bail for one of them, as he was in a pre-trial detention center. Then the money was needed for medical treatment, car registration, unblocking accounts, and so on. The gullible woman managed to "lend" the men UAH 592 thousand in 5 months. Only later did she realize that they were not going to repay the debt, so she turned to law enforcement
