According to investigators, the man took advantage of the desperation of the mother of a 7-year-old boy with developmental disabilities and received 60,000 hryvnias from her for allegedly healing the child through magical rituals.<\/p>\n<p>This was reported on November 13, 2026, by the <a href=\"https:\/\/kyiv.npu.gov.ua\/news\/proponuvav-mahichni-obriady-dlia-ztsilennia-dytyny-politseiski-kyieva-povidomyly-psevdomahu-pro-pidozru?utm_source=chatgpt.com\">Kyiv police<\/a> and the Kyiv City Prosecutor\u2019s Office. Law enforcement officials did not officially name the suspect, but according to Ukrainska Pravda, the person in question is <strong>Bohdan Orishchenko<\/strong>, who presents himself as \u201cthe mage Veliar.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>How the mother of a sick child came to the \u201cmage\u201d<\/h2>\n<p>According to investigators, in May 2025, a woman from Kharkiv region who was raising a 7-year-old son with a severe diagnosis and behavioral disorders contacted the man.<\/p>\n<p>The child\u2019s condition requires specialized care and corrective support from professionals. However, hoping to improve her son\u2019s health, the mother came across an offer of \u201cmagical healing\u201d online.<\/p>\n<p>Investigators established that the suspect had created pages on social media and other online platforms where he advertised paid esoteric services, including promising to cure various illnesses.<\/p>\n<p>The woman communicated with the man via messenger. He persuaded her to pay for consultations and special remote rituals that could supposedly help her son. In total, the mother transferred 60,000 hryvnias to him.<\/p>\n<p>The prosecutor\u2019s office said the suspect took advantage of the woman\u2019s vulnerable psychological state, and she never received the promised help.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"quote-light\"><p>\u201cHis rituals had no effect except to enrich the so-called mage.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>\u201cGolden buffaloes\u201d for 9,000 hryvnias and candles to ward off \u201ccurses\u201d<\/h2>\n<p>According to the prosecutor\u2019s office, the suspect\u2019s earnings were not limited to paid consultations and rituals. He also held esoteric \u201cmarathons\u201d and sold products to which he attributed supernatural powers.<\/p>\n<p>His offers included:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p>Figurines of a \u201cgolden buffalo that helps millionaires\u201d \u2014 for 9,000 hryvnias.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p>\u201cMiracle candles\u201d that supposedly remove \u201ccurses\u201d and the evil eye \u2014 for 1,300 hryvnias.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>To attract new followers, the man posted Tarot card readings about the course of the war and made sensational predictions.<\/p>\n<p>In particular, he claimed that Kyiv residents would be transported from the right bank of the Dnipro River to the left bank by barges. He also spread claims that, during the war, mages and witches supposedly had special abilities not just to survive, but to live well.<\/p>\n<h2>He offered help even to families of missing soldiers<\/h2>\n<p>The prosecutor\u2019s office said the man had become known through appearances on television shows. Using his popularity, he offered services to people facing difficult circumstances.<\/p>\n<p>Potential clients included not only parents of sick children, but also relatives of Ukrainian service members who had gone missing.<\/p>\n<p>Back in June 2026, it was reported that law enforcement was investigating the activities of <strong>Bohdan Orishchenko<\/strong> and <strong>Maria Arefieva<\/strong>, known as \u201cthe witch <strong>Maria Tiha<\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Member of Parliament Yaroslav Zhelezniak had previously raised concerns about possible fraud by esoteric practitioners, including targeting relatives of Ukrainian defenders who had gone missing. The current suspicion against Bohdan Orishchenko, however, relates to a specific incident involving money received from a child\u2019s mother.<\/p>\n<h2>What penalty could the \u201cmage Veliar\u201d face?<\/h2>\n<p>Officers and investigators from the Darnytsia Police Department, together with cyberpolice, established the circumstances of the alleged fraud.<\/p>\n<p>Under the procedural supervision of the Darnytsia District Prosecutor\u2019s Office in Kyiv, the man was notified of suspicion under Part 4 of Article 190 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine \u2014 fraud committed using electronic computing equipment.<\/p>\n<p>The article carries a penalty of up to 8 years in prison.<\/p>\n<p>Law enforcement officials urge anyone who may also have been affected by promises of healing or other \u201cmagical\u201d assistance to contact the Darnytsia Police Department.<\/p>\n<p>The pre-trial investigation is ongoing. Under the Constitution of Ukraine, a suspect is presumed innocent until proven guilty by a court judgment that has entered into force.<\/p>\n<p><strong>We wrote earlier:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/korabelov.info\/en\/2026\/06\/592909\/fortune-tellers-profited-from-the-grief-of-families-of-fallen-servicemen-scammers-will-be-tried-in-kyiv\/\">\u201cFortune-tellers\u201d preyed on the grief of families of fallen soldiers: fraudsters to stand trial in Kyiv<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/korabelov.info\/en\/2026\/06\/592469\/help-for-money-is-a-trap-scammers-are-massively-targeting-families-of-prisoners-and-the-missing\/\">\u201cPaid help\u201d is a trap: fraudsters are targeting families of prisoners of war and people missing in action<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/korabelov.info\/en\/2026\/05\/589585\/astrologers-tarot-readers-and-the-secret-management-how-esotericism-made-its-way-into-politics\/\">Astrologers, Tarot readers, and \u201csecret control\u201d: how esotericism made its way into politics<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/korabelov.info\/en\/2026\/05\/588419\/the-end-of-paid-magic-in-ukraine-they-want-to-punish-fortune-telling-esotericism-and-occultism\/\">The end of paid magic?
