In the Moscow region, employees of the Criminal investigation department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia in the city of Khimki as a result of operational search measures detained a 54-year-old local resident suspected of serial fraud. It is known that this man, in order not to be brought to justice, changed his last name in November of this year.

According to the police, in 2022, an attacker created closed channels in one of the messengers, where he offered services for training financial literacy and organizing trading on the stock exchange. He persuaded clients to invest their money and start making money on the stock market.

Having believed the offender, the citizens transferred large sums of money to him for further investment, but he never fulfilled his obligations. According to the same scheme, the man deceived four citizens – residents of Moscow, Yekaterinburg and the Nizhny Novgorod region. And the total amount of damage exceeded 2.5 million rubles.

According to the offender, he lost part of the victims ' money on the stock exchange, and spent the rest on personal needs.

A criminal case has been opened against the fraudster under Part 4 of Article 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. The Khimki City Court chose a preventive measure in the form of remand in custody for the defendant.
