The masterminds behind the multi-crore Torres fraud case fled Ukraine through Poland, Dubai, and Bangkok before disappearing, according to the Mumbai Police’s Economic Offences Wing (EOW). The revelation comes after a chargesheet was filed in the case, officials confirmed to The Indian Express on Monday.
EOW officials identified eight Ukrainian nationals—Victoriia Kovalenko, Oleksandr Borovyk, Oleksandr Zapichenko, Oleksandra Brunkivska, Oleksandra Tredokhib, Artem Oliferchuk, and Iurchenko Igor—along with a Turkish national, Mustafa Karakoc, as the key suspects. According to investigators, the accused individuals left Ukraine on separate dates between November 2024 and January 2025, taking flights to Poland, Dubai, and Bangkok.
Authorities have since lost track of their movements, and their current whereabouts remain unknown. Law enforcement agencies are now working with international counterparts to trace and apprehend the suspects.
The Torres fraud case involves a large-scale financial scam with victims spanning multiple countries, including India. The Mumbai Police continue to investigate the extent of the fraudulent operations and potential accomplices involved in the scheme.
