Near one of the shops in the Darnytskyi district, a 32-year-old man snatched 5 thousand hryvnias from him. The attacker turned out to be a Kyiv resident who had been repeatedly brought to criminal responsibility for property crimes. The court took into account the collected evidence and the unserved sentence for fraud and sentenced the defendant to 8 years in prison.
