This was reported by the press service of the Main Department of the National Police in the Dnipropetrovsk region.
The individuals involved were organizing "meetings" in the pre-trial detention centers of Kryvyi Rih and Dnipro, where they resolved conflicts, determined the status of participants in the criminal environment, and allocated areas of influence. There were also instances of the suspects reaching out to "thieves in law" – citizens of the Russian Federation.
During authorized searches in the Dnipropetrovsk and Zaporizhzhia regions and Kyiv, law enforcement officials seized significant amounts of cash, handwritten notes, mobile phones, computer equipment, drugs and equipment for their production, ammunition, and vehicles.
Two suspects have been detained in accordance with Article 208 of the Criminal Procedure Code of Ukraine, and a preventive measure of detention has been chosen for them. Other individuals involved are already in custody for previously committed crimes.
