Operatives of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs for the Kursk region, in cooperation with colleagues from the city of Khanty-Mansiysk, detained five suspects in a series of frauds committed against residents of several regions of Russia.
“It has been previously established that the leader of the group organized the withdrawal of stolen funds to controlled bank accounts and coordinated the activities of his accomplices. The remaining defendants selected people who would issue bank cards in their name and transfer money using the specified details.
Investigators, in collaboration with employees of the security centers of four large Russian banks, identified suspicious movements of funds. Three transactions were suspended,” said official representative of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs Irina Volk.
As a result of operational search activities, police detained the suspects. 11 searches were carried out, during which bank and SIM cards, computer equipment, cash, as well as a substance of plant origin were seized, which was sent for examination.
The events were held with the participation of the Russian Guard.
“The investigator of the Investigative Directorate of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs for the city of Kursk opened a criminal case on the grounds of a crime provided for in Part 4 of Article 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. The defendants were given a preventive measure in the form of house arrest. One and a half million rubles were seized to compensate the victims.
Currently, measures are being taken to establish all the circumstances of the illegal activity,” added Irina Volk.
