Law enforcement officers have exposed a resident of Kyiv who administered a telegram channel in the city of Nikopol, Dnipropetrovsk region, and embezzled almost UAH 1 million in charitable contributions to the Armed Forces of Ukraine. This was reported by the Prosecutor General's Office.
"Under the procedural supervision of the Nikopol District Prosecutor's Office, the resident of Kyiv was served a notice of suspicion of illegal use of charitable donations during martial law (Part 3 of Article 201-2 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine)," the agency said in a statement.
According to the investigation, the suspect repeatedly organized fundraisers allegedly to help the Ukrainian military.
"To transfer money for military equipment, cars, and quadcopters, the pseudo-volunteer indicated the details of her bank cards. After that, she misappropriated the donations and spent them on her own needs," the statement said.
Thus, according to the prosecutor's office, the woman received almost UAH 1 million from citizens in six months.
During the searches at the suspect's place of residence, law enforcement officers seized computer equipment, a mobile phone, and cash.
