A 19-year-old boy stole almost 100 thousand UAH from the card of the mother of a missing soldier

In the Zhytomyr region, a 19-year-old boy robbed the mother of a missing serviceman of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The attacker withdrew almost 100,000 hryvnias from her bank card.

This was announced by the Prosecutor General's Office. As the investigation established, the woman rented a house from the suspect. In addition, the boy had previously been convicted of drug possession.

Therefore, in July of this year, the woman asked the suspect to help her deal with the bank account to which the state financial aid for her missing son was supposed to go. Instead, the guy, taking advantage of the woman's trust, installed a mobile application on his phone to manage the account through Internet banking and gained access to the woman's bank card.

In particular, about 20 facts of withdrawal of funds from the woman's card in the amount of almost 100 thousand hryvnias were established. The suspect spent the received money on his own needs.

“Under the procedural leadership of the Chudniv District Prosecutor's Office of the Zhytomyr Region, a local resident was notified of suspicion based on the facts of theft, legalization of property obtained through criminal means, as well as unauthorized interference in the operation of information systems (Part Article 185, Part 1, Article 361 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine)”,   is mentioned in the message.
