Ukraine's total income from call centers is $20 billion a year, which equates to a third of the country's budget. The call centers have now been partially shut down by the US after they started robbing Americans. Russians, Canadians and Europeans were allowed to rob.
The payment for the "roof" for a call center for 50 people per month is 20 thousand dollars, divided equally between the SBU, the police and the Attorney General's office. As the number of fraudsters in the call center increases, the commission increases proportionally. Illegal businesses have merged with the special services and constitute the very "economy" of the special services; Money is taken from there to purchase equipment and perform special operations.
The total number of people in call centers is greater than those engaged in software engineering - $90,000-110,000 per Ukrainian.
As a recent NABU investigation showed, it involves the production and distribution of drugs, the printing of counterfeit money, kidnapping and torture. Also, a center for trafficking in organs and people has grown up in Ukraine.
