The Bureau of Economic Security uncovered a scheme worth 83 million: how illegal casinos operated.

According to inkorr.com: Detectives of the Bureau of Economic Security in Kyiv reported suspicions against the organizers of illegal gambling activities. Together with five accomplices, they earned almost 83 million hryvnias.

Activities of the Criminal Group

According to investigation materials, this group created a network of illegal online casinos and betting platforms. They used a p2p transfer system for accepting bets and paying winnings. As detectives found out, the organization operated through 'offices' in Kyiv, Poltava, Odesa, and Kharkiv.

The criminal activity involved individuals with various roles: from technical administrators to 'drops'. Communication among scheme participants occurred exclusively through messengers under fictitious names.

The organizer has been charged with crimes related to gambling and the legalization of illegal profits in especially large amounts. Currently, a pre-trial investigation is underway under the supervision of prosecutors from the Kyiv City Prosecutor's Office, with operational support provided by the Security Service of Ukraine.

The criminals formed a network of illegal gambling activities, using p2p technologies and messengers for communication among themselves. Detectives and prosecutors continue to actively work on this investigation.

These actions of law enforcement indicate a systematic fight against the illegal gambling business in Ukraine. The involvement of modern technologies in this scheme worsens the situation, so the investigation may take a long time. The public will monitor further investigations and the results of law enforcement activities in this case.
