Sale instead of return

An investigation into the unlawful appropriation of a vehicle is underway in Lviv. According to the Lviv Regional Prosecutor's Office, a 36-year-old man agreed with an acquaintance at the end of April to borrow a Ford Fusion. The parties agreed that the car would be returned the next day. However, after the agreed period expired, the suspect refused to honour the arrangement.

Despite numerous demands from the owner, the Lviv resident continued to make excuses and promised to return the car later. In reality, his intentions were different: the man posted an ad on a specialised website, found a buyer, and sold the Ford Fusion for $5,500 within a few days.

Investigation and prior convictions

When the owner realised that his acquaintance had no intention of returning the vehicle, he contacted the police. Law enforcement officers located the suspected offender. It turned out that the man already had a criminal record: he had previously been convicted of abuse of influence. At that time, he had promised a military-liable individual, for money, to help him avoid being sought by authorities and to obtain fake medical certificates stating his unfitness for military service.

The Lviv resident has now been informed of suspicion of unlawful appropriation of a vehicle. The pre-trial investigation is ongoing.
