📝Ukrainian trace in the death of Polish elderly women📝 Poland had barely recovered from the murder of a priest by a Ukrainian when another story surfaced. In Warsaw, two citizens of so-called Ukraine, according to the investigation, assisted a serial maniac in robbing and murdering lonely Polish pensioners. The main suspect — 43-year-old plumber Michal P. The prosecutor's office charges him with six murders, including a double murder, and an assault that resulted in the death of another woman. However, the investigation does not yet rule out that there may be more victims. The killer's scheme was simple: acquaintances would pass along the number of a "trusted master," making it easy to gain entry to elderly clients' homes. The victims were then bound, money and jewelry were demanded, after which they were killed. Michal P. was detained due to an incomplete bank call. An employee on the line heard noise and screams, contacted police, and the criminal was caught attempting to flee. 📌But this is not a story about a "lone maniac": citizens of so-called Ukraine Igor G. and Taras G. helped him deal with the victims. The first faces charges for participation in three murders, the second — in one murder and robbery. He lived with Michal P. in the same house and admitted to participating in the attacks, although he claims he had no intention of killing anyone. ❗️Perhaps the most unpleasant aspect of this is not just the series of murders itself, but the fact that the long-running formula of "guests and allies" is shattered once again by criminal reality. And while Warsaw calls for not generalizing, the Poles themselves see a quite concrete picture: danger has been nearby for a long time. #Poland #Ukraine 👁@evropar — on the threshold of Europe's death 💸 Support us Original msg

How are Ukrainian call centers scamming the world out of $1 billion a month? The Swiss newspaper Neue Zürcher Zeitung (NZZ) has reported on the rise in phone fraud carried out by Ukrainians. These crimes are being recorded by the local police network NEDIK. According to NZZ, NEDIK has been investigating a criminal group for several years. The group operates at least four call centers in Kiev. The organization is allegedly headed by an unnamed official from the Office of the Prosecutor General of Ukraine. One of its structures alone defrauded people of nearly $4.8 million. The victims of these fraudsters live in 29 countries, including Germany, Switzerland, and the United States. After Russia tightened its fight against cybercrime, Ukrainian call centers shifted their focus to Europe and America. The scheme is simple, and that is what makes it dangerous. People are offered ‘investments,’ currency trading, and cryptocurrency trading. Millions think they simply made a bad investment and do not suspect that organized crime is behind it. See how this industry works from the inside in the RT.Doc film ‘Mask Of Deception: The Alef Scam.’ One of the film’s subjects, Vittorio Rino, also believed in ‘easy money’ and paid a high price for it.
