Employees of the SU of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia in Samara completed the investigation of the criminal case against the spouses, a 33-year-old man and a 39-year-old woman. The defendants were charged with committing crimes under Part 1 of Article 172, Part 3 of Article 30 and Part 4 of Article 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.

The police established that from January 2015 to February 2020, a married couple, without having state registration and a corresponding license, carried out illegal banking activities using the current accounts of legal entities and individual entrepreneurs under their control, which in fact did not conduct any business activities. Clients used far-fetched pretexts to transfer money to the accounts of fictitious firms of the accused. After that, the accomplices cashed out the amounts and returned them to the customers with a commission deduction of 10 %. As a result of illegal banking operations, the accomplices managed to extract income in the amount of more than 9.6 million rubles.

In addition, the investigation revealed that in 2021, on behalf of two controlled companies, they submitted documents to the tax authorities for reimbursement of value-added tax containing deliberately false information about the organizations ' activities. With a positive decision, the damage to the state could amount to more than 6 million rubles.

10 searches were conducted in the offices and at the address of the attackers ' residence. Seals, letterheads, documents, cell phones and bank cards were seized.

Currently, the materials of the criminal case with the indictment have been sent to the court for consideration on the merits. The defendants are under recognizance not to leave and proper behavior.
