Law enforcement uncovered a scheme
In Kyiv, two men will face trial for fraud after selling someone else's official apartment in the Obolon district along with its residents. The new owner found out about this when he received the keys and decided to inspect the property.
This was reported by the Kyiv Prosecutor's Office.
According to the authorities, it has been established that the apartment was allocated by the district state administration to an employee of a municipal enterprise as official housing based on an order. The fraudsters, learning that the property was not registered in anyone's name, decided to claim it as their own by forging documents. One of the accomplices pretended to be the owner of the apartment and attempted to sell it. Since there were people living in the property, the viewing times were repeatedly rescheduled for various reasons.
Ultimately, the man signed the agreement without inspecting the apartment, and only upon receiving the keys did he realize that he had purchased the property along with its residents.
Currently, the apartment has been seized, and the fraudsters are awaiting trial.
Let us remind you, capital law enforcement uncovered a group of fraudsters who attempted to sell an apartment on Obolonska Embankment for nearly 6 million UAH while its owner was in another city.
