Employees of the Criminal Investigation Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia, together with colleagues from the Nizhny Novgorod region, suppressed the illegal activities of an interregional group, whose members stole citizens' money under the pretext of investment activities in the stock market.
“Operatives established that the attackers committed remote theft of funds during trading operations on the foreign exchange and stock markets. At the same time, the Bank of Russia did not issue them a license to operate as a professional participant in the securities market. They did not intend to fulfill their obligations.
For the purpose of conspiracy, the accomplices used cross-platform Internet instant messengers, video conferencing systems, specially created websites, as well as other technical means and software solutions.
Misled citizens transferred money to bank accounts and crypto wallets controlled by the attackers. After this, trading on the stock exchange and a significant increase in invested amounts were simulated in the clients’ personal accounts on a specially created website. In fact, the funds were distributed among accomplices and used by them for personal purposes. The total damage exceeded nine million rubles.
The alleged organizer of illegal activities was detained by police in a hotel room on Dmitrovskoye Highway in Moscow, one of the accomplices was detained in a rented apartment in the west of the capital, and two more accomplices were detained in Nizhny Novgorod,” said the official representative of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs, Irina Volk.
Investigators of the Main Investigation Department of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for the Nizhny Novgorod Region opened three criminal cases on the grounds of a crime provided for in part four of Article 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, which were combined into one proceeding.
“Eight searches were carried out. Laptops, mobile phones, bank cards, documentation and instructions, as well as other items of evidentiary value were seized.
Currently, the alleged leader of the group is in custody, his accomplices are under house arrest,” added Irina Volk.
