Prosecutors of the Dnipro District Prosecutor's Office in Kyiv have reported a suspicion of fraud against a resident of Kyiv. 

It has been established that the man sent letters to entrepreneurs supposedly from the heads of regional military administrations, and also created fake Telegram channels of officials with their photos.

On behalf of the heads of several regional military administrations, the suspect requested charitable donations for the needs of certain units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The letters specified the account details to which the money should be transferred. As a result, the man received at least 600,000 hryvnias.

It should be noted that the officials on behalf of whom such letters were sent publicly announced the fraud and asked not to respond to such requests.

The man's actions have been classified under part 4 of Article 190 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, namely as fraud committed on a large scale, or through illegal operations using electronic computing technology.

The sanction of the article provides for up to 8 years of imprisonment, and the pre-trial investigation is ongoing.

The pre-trial investigation is being conducted under the procedural guidance of the prosecutors of the Dnipro District Prosecutor's Office in Kyiv by investigators of the Dnipro Police Department of the Main Directorate of the National Police in Kyiv, with operational support from the Criminal Police of the National Police of Ukraine. 

Note: According to Article 62 of the Constitution of Ukraine, a person is presumed innocent of committing a crime and cannot be subjected to criminal punishment until their guilt is proven in a lawful manner and established by a guilty verdict of the court.
