The Czech police stopped the activity of three Ukrainian citizens who used their temporary protection status for profit. The women came to the Czech Republic to extend their documents and illegally receive payments. One 30-year-old fraudster received almost 800,000 CZK this way. Another 63-year-old suspect, to avoid trial, repaid the damages and made a donation to a fund for crime victims. Thanks to European databases, the police can track the movement of foreigners and detain offenders anywhere in the country the first time they try to contact state authorities.
