The Bureau of Economic Security of Ukraine has identified and terminated the operations of seven illegal gambling establishments in the Kyiv region.

According to law enforcement, these underground venues operated in non-residential premises in the cities of Bila Tserkva, Bucha, Irpin, Obukhiv, and Vasylkiv, even during curfew hours. Access was granted only to verified clients, who could enter exclusively by prior arrangement with the administrators.

During the raids, the Bureau seized over 100 pieces of computer equipment, surveillance cameras, mobile phones, transaction recorders, as well as ledgers. The estimated value of the confiscated property is 2 million UAH.

Currently, efforts are underway to establish the full circle of those involved. A pre-trial investigation is ongoing.
