Security forces busted a malicious Ternopil travel agency that was illegally selling green cards to the United States
The Shakhras set up a malicious scheme in Ukraine, behind which large sums of money (up to 12 thousand dollars) were paid to Ukrainians for winning a no-cost lottery to win a “green card” from the United States.
The press service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs reported this.
Green card (green card - green card, official name: United States Permanent Resident Card) - a person’s confirmation or identification card that confirms the permission to reside in the United States of a person who is not a citizen of the United States, If he resides permanently in the territory of the Acquired States, he is entitled to the right to rule over the entire territory of that territory.
A green card can be won through participation in a special online lottery, which is carried out quickly by the US government. One of the goals of the diversification lottery is the desire to immigrate to the United States of people from countries whose immigrants are less represented in the United States.
On average, 5-7 million people from all corners of the world will participate in the diversification lottery. With this visa (green card) you will win 50-55 thousand people per river. A piece of one edge cannot be larger for 7% of the cost.
The investigation was carried out vigorously by Ukrainian and American security forces.
Since they were promoted to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in ten years the Shahrai have established unprecedented activity. The group’s participants took control of the Diversity Visa visa lottery program and made money from Ukrainians.
The head office of the criminals visited Ternopil.

The criminals illegally collected the data of the citizens of Ukraine and, using their names, submitted applications for participation in the visa lottery. Then, having removed the names of the winners, the criminals sold the winning code.
The price of such services varied from 4,5 thousand dollars to 12 thousand dollars. Although, in reality, your participation in the lottery may be absolutely cost-free.
Once a person was unable to pay such sums, the scammers encouraged her to apply for a loan under the security checkpoint with a special credit institution.
After people were outside the cordon, specially selected lawyers, through contacts with law enforcement agencies and courts, selected all the victims.
In the United States, other agents of swindlers harassed Ukrainian lottery operators, took away their migration documents and swindled them into low-paying jobs.
The police have already carried out 25 searches, during which they obtained a lot of evidence: accounting documents, stamps and seals of fictitious enterprises, bank cards, questionnaires, trade receipts, documents on the inviolability of the land.

On the territory of Ukraine, about ten individuals were involved in the Shakhrai scheme. Two participants have already been informed about the suspicion.
