In addition, during the current year, the illegal activities of an organized criminal group were stopped, which, under the guise of a rehabilitation center for people with addiction, illegally deprived them of their liberty.
Law enforcement officers have also recorded frequent cases of illegal imprisonment or kidnapping of people for mercenary reasons. Most often, such facts were revealed in Zaporozhye, Kyiv, Cherkassy, Kharkov, Dnepropetrovsk and Poltava regions. And in the Volyn, Zaporozhye and Sumy regions, cases of torture of people in places of detention were established.
In the Poltava and Dnepropetrovsk regions, facts of illegal seizure of passports or other personal documents (bank cards) of people who were in so-called rehabilitation centers were revealed.
