The investigative unit of the SU of the Department of Internal Affairs for the city of Sochi has completed the investigation of a criminal case initiated on the grounds of crimes provided for in Part 4 of Article 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.
According to the investigation, a 29-year-old previously convicted resident of Tomsk created an organized group to steal money from citizens remotely. To commit crimes, the man attracted four of his acquaintances-residents of the Tomsk and Kemerovo regions, distributing among them the roles of assistant organizer, coordinator, call center operator and cashier.
According to the plan, scammers called victims and, posing as bank employees or law enforcement officers, convinced them to apply for loans in their own name and transfer the money received to "safe accounts". Cash receipts were controlled by a coordinator and passed information to cashiers who withdrew cash via an ATM. In four days, the attackers managed to deceive three women, causing them material damage totaling more than 1 million rubles.
The illegal activities of the group members were stopped by the criminal Investigation department together with the investigator of the Adler police Department of the Department of Internal Affairs in Sochi. While on a business trip to Tomsk, Sochi police detained the organizer and two of his accomplices.
Currently, the materials of the criminal case with the approved indictment have been sent to the court for consideration on the merits. The sanctions of the incriminated part of the article provide for a maximum penalty of up to ten years imprisonment.
