In Kyiv, law enforcement officers reported suspicions to a man who offered paid “magical” services on social media and promised to cure a child of illnesses. According to investigators, he received 60,000 hryvnias from a resident of the Kharkiv region for remote rituals and consultations.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is reported by<\/a> the Kyiv police.<\/p>\n

According to law enforcement, a Kyiv resident created pages on various Internet platforms where he placed ads about providing “magical” services, including healing from various diseases.<\/p>\n

A resident of the Kharkiv region contacted the man via messenger, hoping to help her 7-year-old son with developmental disabilities. The child needed specialized medical care. <\/p>\n

The investigation found that the man convinced the woman to pay for consultations and remote “rituals” that were supposed to cure the boy. According to law enforcement, he took advantage of the woman’s trust and her vulnerable state and received 60,000 hryvnias from her. <\/p>\n

Operatives and investigators of the Darnytsia Police Department, together with cyber police officers, established the circumstances of the case. Under the procedural guidance of the Darnytsia District Prosecutor’s Office, the man was informed of suspicion under Part 4 of Article 190 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine – fraud committed using electronic computing equipment.<\/p>\n

The sanction of the article provides for up to 8 years of imprisonment. At the same time, according to the Constitution of Ukraine, a person is considered innocent until his guilt is proven in accordance with the law and established by a court verdict of guilty.<\/p>\n

Recall that in Volyn, fraudsters are luring citizens into giving away their personal data and access to their bank accounts<\/a> under the pretext of connecting to fifth-generation (5G) mobile communications. This week alone, one of the victims lost over 1.3 million hryvnias.<\/p>\n
