    Details

    According to the Cyberpolice, the high demand for rail travel has provoked the emergence of a black market and those wishing to make money by reselling tickets for the most popular flights.

    The investigation found that the criminals, gaining unauthorized access to third-party accounts, bought tickets to popular European rail destinations, creating an artificial shortage for other passengers. The criminals then resold the tickets at a price three times higher than their real value on various Internet platforms, including in Telegram groups.

    The police identified at least five people who sold "trips" under this scheme and conducted a series of searches at their residences in Kyiv and Kyiv region, from where they seized computers and gadgets containing third-party accounts, bank cards and a large number of purchased tickets to different destinations.
