The four suspects allegedly created websites that imitated legitimate cryptocurrency exchanges, targeting investors that were interested in purchasing tokens. The suspects further asked the victims to transfer funds into digital wallets registered under forged identification documents through the fake trading sites, according to the police.
As part of the investigation, officials confiscated computers, flash drives, bank cards and mobile phones that were used by the suspects.
Ukrainian police have begun criminal proceedings under Section 3 of Article 190 of Ukraine's Criminal Code, according to statements.
The move marks one of the first major efforts by the nation to police its domestic crypto ecosystem, following a previous move to form a new working group to regulate cryptocurrencies, as previously reported by CoinDesk.
During a January meeting, National Security and Defense Council chief Oleksandr Turchynov said that a lack of regulation around the tech is a threat to Ukraine's economy and security.
