In Kyiv, cyber specialists from the SBU (Security Service of Ukraine) have exposed a group of dealers who were selling water instead of cancer drugs to patients. The SBU seized 40 boxes of counterfeit medicines from the organizer and three accomplices of the scheme, which they had smuggled into Ukraine under the guise of humanitarian aid, with a total value of UAH 50 million. The involvement of more than a dozen other oncologists, including foreign ones, in the fraud is being investigated. The amount of money made from this scheme is staggering, with the revenue from the sale of one type of drug alone reaching several million hryvnias. People have been forced to sell their businesses, homes, and take on debt in order to purchase something that could potentially harm or even kill them faster than the disease. The perpetrators of this crime are facing sentences of eight to ten years in prison.
