The Frunzensky (Minsk) district Court of the Investigative Committee has revealed the details of the investigation of a criminal case on fraud on a particularly large scale as part of an organized group.
Over the past two years, law enforcement officers have been tirelessly warning the population about phone calls from supposedly relatives who were involved in an accident and asking them to transfer money to "solve" the issue. Unfortunately, while there are those who believe in this, there will also be those who are ready to take money to scammers for a certain percentage.
One of these "messengers" was a 23-year-old boy. He worked as a loader and at first he was satisfied with the salary. However, over the years, requests grew and I had to look for a part-time job. At the end of April this year, a resident of Minsk started actively searching for a job on the Internet. In the Telegram thematic community, the young man found a very attractive offer for himself - a highly paid courier job for just a few hours a day. The guy responded to the ad.
The employer immediately said that it would be necessary to pick up money disguised as a parcel at the addresses and take it to a "trusted" person. In addition, the employer promised to pay for a taxi, since the guy did not have a driver's license and personal transport.
A couple of days later, the defendant received his first order. According to the case file, on April 30 of this year, he went to the address that the curator reported. The accused was asked to observe measures of secrecy: first drive up to the neighboring house, stay for some time at the entrance to check the absence of police officers in the yard. Unquestioningly following all instructions, he took a package with personal belongings and money from a 75-year-old woman.
Investigators found that on the eve of the pensioner called "daughter", who allegedly crossed the road at a red light and provoked an accident-the driver crashed into the wall and lost the child. Then the false witness joined the conversation and explained that in order to re-qualify the case from criminal to administrative and a successful outcome of events, it is necessary to compensate for material damage – 35 thousand rubles. An elderly Minsk resident and her husband believed what was said and immediately reported their savings. They prepared personal items, 33 thousand in various currencies, wrote the necessary applications and, without asking questions, handed the "parcel" to the courier who arrived.
In the restroom of the shopping center, the guy counted the money, collected his fee and, on the instructions of the curator, took a taxi to the city of Oshmyany, Grodno region, to transfer the funds to an accomplice.
Already on May 1, the accused went to Molodechno for the second order, after which he was detained by police officers at the capital's railway station. This time, the person involved did not have time to transfer the money to the curators and more than 17 thousand rubles were returned to a 78-year-old pensioner who "helped" her daughter.
During the preliminary investigation, the young man pleaded guilty and cooperated with the investigation, but was not prepared for the fact that he, in his opinion, was alone a link in an organized criminal group. According to the materials of the case, the defendant has a secondary special education, works as a loader and was previously convicted of hooliganism.
The actions of the accused were qualified by the investigator under Part 4 of Article 209 (fraud committed on a particularly large scale, by a group of persons). Criminal Code of the Republic of Belarus. A preventive measure in the form of remand in custody was applied to him.
The criminal case is currently pending in the Frunzensky district Court of Minsk.
