«Asset tracing in cases involving the misappropriation of funds under the guise of assistance to the Armed Forces of Ukraine is an extremely important area of our work today. ARMA will continue to actively cooperate with the National Police to ensure economic security and restore justice,» emphasized Pavlo Velikorechanin, Deputy Head of ARMA.
Earlier, Head of Test Automation Practice at Infopulse Oleksiy Ostapov said that he became a victim of fraudsters when, having collected the necessary amount of money to purchase a drone for the Armed Forces of Ukraine, he decided to use the help of supposedly verified volunteers. He noted that he was not the only victim, and in general, the group of attackers could have enriched themselves by more than 70 million UAH.
The activities of the fraudster group are currently being investigated under the direction of the Prosecutor General’s Office, and any assets found will be seized.
