TechFlow News, May 29: According to a report by Decrypt, the Kyiv Regional Prosecutor’s Office in Ukraine has completed its pre-trial investigation into a criminal gang led by two former police colonels and comprising four other former police officers and one civilian with a prior criminal record. Using their law enforcement skills and official resources, the suspects posed as police officers to stalk, kidnap, and threaten at least four cryptocurrency entrepreneurs at gunpoint, coercing victims into signing forged debt documents and extorting approximately $2.2 million in total. One victim was forced to sign a fraudulent “debt agreement” for $5 million. The gang was arrested in November 2025, and the case has been referred to court.
