Operatives of the Criminal Investigation Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia in the Tula region, together with employees of the regional FSB of Russia, detained an unemployed local resident. He is suspected of fraud committed by a group of persons by prior conspiracy.
"According to the data available to the investigation, the attacker has been conducting illegal activities since May of this year. In the messenger, he found an anonymous offer to earn money and began to follow the instructions of an unknown curator. The man rented office space and installed equipment for remote access to the cellular networks of Russian mobile operators. In the future, his responsibilities became the installation, configuration and maintenance of equipment, as well as the regular replacement of SIM cards, "said the official representative of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia Irina Volk.
According to the defendant, he was aware that he had become a participant in criminal schemes of remote fraud. His actions allowed the criminals to steal citizens' money for several months.
"During a search at the place of residence of the detainee and in the offices used by him, the police seized a computer, three SIM pools with a capacity of 512 SIM cards each, six SIM boxes, three routers, as well as about three thousand SIM cards. During the check, the operatives found out that at least 72 frauds were committed with the help of the phone numbers linked to them. Most of the victims are residents of Moscow, Moscow, Kaluga and Tula regions," Irina Volk said.
The investigator of the investigative department of the Skuratovsky OP of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for the city of Tula continues to investigate the criminal case on the grounds of a crime under part 2 of article 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. The defendant was chosen a preventive measure in the form of house arrest.
"All episodes of illegal activities and its accomplices are being established," Irina Volk added.

+ Tula criminal investigation operatives in the framework of a previously initiated criminal case of fraud received information that for a long time in the territory of the Moscow region, unknown persons have been carrying out mass registration of accounts in one of the popular messengers using a large number of SIM cards and special equipment, in order to assist criminals who commit remote fraud.
During the operational-technical measures, the identities and location of three men involved in this illegal act were established. These persons were detained by the police in an apartment located in the city of Noginsk, Moscow Region. According to preliminary information, the detainees carried out illegal activities in the period from September 2023 to August of this year. They explained that their responsibilities included the purchase of SIM cards, registration of accounts and their further sale through the Internet. The men received instructions from the curators in one of the popular messengers. In one day, the group registered about 200 accounts, each of which paid a financial reward. Payment was made in cryptocurrency, which was subsequently converted into cash.
As the operatives established, the criminal actions of the detainees allowed the fraudsters to steal money from citizens living in the Tula regions and other regions of the Russian Federation for several months.
During the search, operatives seized an expensive computer, 200 SIM cards registered to various individuals and legal entities, and 6 mobile phones.
