Detectives of the Territorial Department of the Economic Security Bureau in Kyiv region referred the case files regarding an organized criminal group to the court for organizing and conducting illegal gambling.

The investigation established that in May 2023, a citizen of the russian federation who lives in the territory of Kyiv region, organized the operation of illegal gambling establishments in the territory of Boryspil district of Kyiv region. The man involved three more accomplices in the illegal activity who later acted as administrators.

The activities of the underground institution were carefully concealed. Customers agreed on a visit to the hall in advance with the administrators and it was opened only to verified customers.

During the searches detectives of the ESBU seized material evidence of illegal activities, computer equipment, video cameras, thermal printers, flash drives, mobile phones, drafts and russian passports.

Last December the detectives of the ESBU informed the organizer and three members of an organized criminal group that they were suspected of organizing and conducting illegal gambling (Part 3, Article 28, Part 2, Article 203-2 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine). Currently the indictment has been sent to the court.
