A mother promised her daughter a foreign-currency deposit, but she spent €8,000 herself
A woman from Khmelnytskyi district has been charged with fraud
A 42-year-old resident of the Khmelnytskyi district, according to the investigation, for nearly three years received funds earned by her daughter allegedly for safekeeping in a foreign-currency deposit, but disposed of them at her own discretion. The case was reported by the Khmelnytskyi Regional Prosecutor’s Office.
In 2022 the woman’s daughter went to Italy and got a job there. She decided to save part of her earnings in a deposit account in Ukraine, so she asked her mother to open a foreign-currency deposit and began sending her money.
The mother assured her daughter that the account was already opened and that the transferred funds would be kept there. The investigation believes that in fact she never intended to place the money in a deposit.
Overall the daughter transferred about 8,000 euros. At the exchange rate of the National Bank of Ukraine applicable at the time of each transfer, this amounted to more than 330,000 hryvnias.
The money did not end up in the deposit account. The woman was notified of suspicion under Part 3 of Article 190 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine — for fraud committed during martial law and that caused significant damage to the victim.
