According to investigators, from February to April 2023, the 37-year-old defendant and his accomplices, in respect of whom the criminal case materials were separated into separate proceedings, stole funds from citizens under the pretext of investing in the foreign exchange market. The attackers registered websites where they offered to take part in an imaginary investment program under the pretext of receiving high dividends. False traders, under the guise of company managers, convinced gullible citizens to replenish a special electronic account in their personal account, and after the victims deposited personal funds into the account, the accused stole them. Thus, 19 residents of various constituent entities of the Russian Federation were affected by this fraudulent scheme. The total amount of damage he caused exceeded 1 million rubles.
In May 2023, the investigative unit of the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent the materials of the criminal case with the approved indictment to the Chkalovsky District Court of Yekaterinburg for consideration on the merits. As a result, the court sentenced the accused to 6 years of imprisonment to be served in a general regime correctional colony.
