In Ukraine, the activity of an organized criminal group (OCG), which specialized in illegal operations of operational search, arms sales, seizures and extortion of assailants, manufacture and sale of drugs, was terminated. This was reported by the Attorney General’s Office on Saturday, October 24.
According to the investigation, former and current law enforcement officers, former combatants of volunteer battalions, representatives of the criminal environment and employees of security companies who were part of the group were involved in illegal detective activities.
“The current law enforcement officers received sanctions for wiretapping and their accomplices sold the information received. In addition, the group members sold special technical means to obtain information and secret traffic from mobile subscribers,” the message says.
Likewise, members of the organized criminal group, in which the roles were clearly assigned, sold firearms and explosives from the JFO area, participated in seizures of assailants, manufactured and sold narcotics, engaged in extortion of funds from businessmen and the illegal seizure of property.
Law enforcement officers conducted 45 simultaneous searches in Kiev, Kharkov, Zhitomir and Khmelnytsky: at the places of operation of the so-called security and detective companies, the place of residence of the organizers and members of the group and the location of the operational units and techniques from one of the law enforcement agencies.
“Special technical means were seized, including anonymous communication media, computer equipment and information carriers, which were used to receive and transmit confidential information and carry out illegal operational search activities, as well as ammunition and drugs,” added the supervisory authority.
Two organizers were informed of suspicions of illegal manipulation of weapons, illegal acquisition, sale or use of special technical means to obtain information and unauthorized interference in the operation of automated systems, computer networks (articles 263, articles 359 and 361 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine) and two participants – on the fact of illegal handling of weapons, ammunition or explosives (Article 263 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine).
