Illegal call centers employ about 60,000 Ukrainians, driving a large-scale fraud scheme.
Investigators say the network was created in mid-2025, linking serving prosecutors with external partners.
Recordings identify the mastermind as “Andriiovych,” a former State Tax Service head matching Kravchenko’s patronymic.
Court papers allege Kropyva arranged repairs at Kravchenko’s Kozyn residence, which the prosecutor claims is rented.
