BEB detectives and SBU employees exposed an international scheme for the export of cash from temporarily occupied territories abroad and its subsequent legalization in Ukraine.
About this informs BEB press service.
The investigation established that the suspects were taking the stolen money through Russia and Belarus to the EU countries. Subsequently, cash was imported into Ukraine in hidden empty compartments of cars, travel suitcases, using fictitious declarations of the origin of money and legalized.
“Law enforcement officers established that the imported funds were put into circulation and used to create real threats to the national interests of Ukraine,” the report says.
Law enforcement officers exposed two participants in the scheme during the importation of UAH 16 million. During searches of the apartment and cars, camouflaged bags with stones that looked like amber, seals with prints of foreign business entities and cash in suitcases were found.
“Seized undeclared funds of the suspects have been seized. In the future, they will be directed to the needs of the army,” the BEB added.
