The investigative unit for the investigation of organized criminal activities of the SU of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) has completed the investigation of a criminal case against two 25-year-old residents of Primorsky Krai, who are accused of fraud when importing used cars to residents of different regions of Russia.
It is established that the defendants were members of an organized criminal group consisting of six people. In the period from June 2022 to May 2023, the accomplices duplicated on various Internet resources real ads of companies engaged in importing used foreign cars from Asian countries to Russia, indicating their phone numbers for feedback. Then the scammers, allegedly on behalf of these companies, remotely entered into fictitious contracts with the citizens who responded, demanding to pay the full cost of the car purchased at auction. To make payments, the attackers sent their account details to customers.
Further, the accomplices, using the money received, bought vehicles from real suppliers. When the purchased cars were delivered to the port of Vladivostok, the scammers again contacted the victims of their deception and forced them to pay for the services of a customs broker. After that, the accomplices took foreign cars bought with other people's money, which they then resold to third parties.
Acting in this way, six members of an organized group deceived 20 residents of different regions of Russia, including natives of Yakutia. Criminal activity was stopped by operatives of the Criminal Investigation Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia).
During the investigation, it turned out that 15 of the victims gave a total of about 33 million rubles to two 25-year-old residents of Primorsky Krai, who will soon go to the dock on charges of committing a crime under Part 4 of Article 159 of the Criminal Code "Fraud". The materials of this criminal case have already been sent to the court for consideration on the merits.
The investigation of scams committed by other members of the organized group continues.
