Under the guise of representatives of “successful” agricultural enterprises, they took out millions in credit loans from banking institutions in the country to develop agribusiness. For example, in one of the banks they tried to get a loan for 40 million UAH.
This was reported to the Main Directorate of the National Police in Kyiv. They noted that for this crime, the fraudsters face up to 12 years in prison with confiscation of property.
“The defendants, under the pretext of obtaining a loan for the development of agribusiness, were looking for rented premises with agricultural equipment in order to present the imagination of a thriving enterprise to bank representatives. So, they received their first loan in the amount of 4 million hryvnia. The defendants applied for the second loan, in the amount of almost 40 million, in February of this year, but law enforcement officers prevented them from obtaining funds through criminal means,” the report says.
It is noted that the participants in the scheme have already been detained. And during searches in the case the following were confiscated:
- fake documents;
- printing fictitious enterprises;
- money;
- three luxury cars;
- draft notes;
- packages with psychotropic substances
“The court chose a preventive measure for the defendants in the form of detention. They face up to 12 years in prison with confiscation of property,” the police said.
