Investigators of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia in the Ulyanovsk region completed the investigation of a criminal case about a criminal community.
Investigators of the investigative unit of the Investigative Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia in the Ulyanovsk region have completed the investigation of a criminal case against 12 residents of the Samara region. They are accused of fraud on a particularly large scale, committed as part of a criminal community.
"According to investigators, the organizer of the criminal scheme was a 22-year-old resident of Samara. He involved his acquaintances in illegal activities. In one of the social networks, attackers created a page where they offered citizens to invest money in profitable transactions on a cryptocurrency exchange. They reported that their project employs a team of professional traders who guarantee the maximum return on investment.
The defendants regularly shot and released promotional videos in their rented cottages with the participation of attracted actors. They described supposedly successful financial transactions and high earnings of business participants.
The money received from citizens was initially returned to them with interest. This helped to expand the base of clients who transferred ever larger amounts. However, after some time, the payments stopped, and the scammers stopped contacting, " said Irina Volk, an official representative of the Russian Interior Ministry.
The investigation established the identities of 422 victims from 17 constituent entities of the Russian Federation. The total amount of damage amounted to more than 37 million rubles.
Two defendants were given a preventive measure in the form of a ban on certain actions, the remaining ten-in the form of recognizance not to leave and proper behavior. During the preliminary investigation, one of the accused tried to escape from the investigation abroad, but was detained.
"Currently, the investigation is completed. A criminal case consisting of more than 300 volumes on the grounds of crimes under Articles 159, 210 and 322 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, with an indictment approved by the prosecutor, was sent to the court for consideration on the merits," Irina Volk said.
