Criminal case opened against Yuliya Kran

Yuliya Kran, acting head of the Chernihiv Regional Directorate of the State Migration Service, has been placed under investigation on charges of fraud. According to a source in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, in 2023 she borrowed $10,000 from an acquaintance, promising to repay the money within the next few months, but failed to keep her promise.

Incident in Sofiivska Borshchahivka

The woman, who lives in the “Sofia” residential complex on Boholyubova Street in Sofiivska Borshchahivka, took the money to resolve work-related issues while she was working at the Kyiv Regional Directorate of the State Migration Service. However, despite her promises, she did not return the money, and the man filed a report with the police in July 2024. Based on this, a criminal case was opened under Article 190 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, which covers fraud.

Obstacles in the investigation and corruption

However, the investigation into the case was delayed, which raised suspicions. According to sources, Police Colonel Artem Yarosh, who was appointed as the investigator in the case, allegedly received a bribe of $2,000 to slow down and close the case. He later promised to resume the investigation for an additional sum of $5,000.

Attempts to close the case and links to illegal business

Yuliya Kran is now attempting to close the criminal case by using her connections within the law enforcement agencies. It is alleged that she is involved in an illegal business related to the sale of temporary and permanent residence permits for foreigners, which may be linked to corruption schemes within the Migration Service.
