The duty station of the Belotserkovsky city police department received a statement from the head of one of the banking institutions in the city of Bila Tserkva that an unknown person, through illegal transactions, took possession of funds in the amount of about 48 million hryvnia.
During investigative and operational activities, it was established that a 48-year-old local resident of Bila Tserkva, within a week, “virtually” transferred funds that were in circulation at one of the city’s banks to his and his late wife’s card accounts.
He carried out illegal transactions using one of the electronic delivery and bill payment sites on the Internet. As a result of such transfers, he took possession of funds in the amount of almost 48 million hryvnia. He withdrew part of the money (782 thousand hryvnia) in cash through an ATM, for which he bought “a little” things for himself and went for a walk.
Now the bank accounts to which the “cyberthief” transferred money are blocked, and part of the unspent funds was returned to the banking institution, which suffered losses, reported the public relations department of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the Kiev region.
