Ukraine anti-corruption agencies expose criminal network linked to U420, drug trafficking and call centres
Ukraine’s National Agency on Corruption Prevention and Specialised Anticorruption Prosecutor’s Office said they exposed a criminal organization during Operation Carthage. The network allegedly coordinated at least 52 fraudulent call centres, sold synthetic cannabinoids through U420 shops and received protection from law-enforcement officials. Recordings also show members discussing threats and physical attacks against journalists investigating the scheme.
