Officers of the Department of Economic Security and Anti-Corruption of the Department of Internal Affairs for the Zelenograd Administrative District of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia in Moscow, together with employees of the regional Directorate of the FSB of Russia, detained a suspect in fraud on an especially large scale.
"A resident of Zelenograd contacted the police, who said that in June 2023 he decided to invest his own funds in an investment project, information about which was posted on the Internet. For some time, he transferred money through his personal account and even made a small profit. However, then the receipts to his account stopped.
The police found that the investment company's strategy was to conduct transactions to buy and sell cryptocurrency. It acted on the principle of a financial pyramid. Attackers attracted citizens to invest capital on their platform. Income for new users was formed from previously raised funds, "said the official representative of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia Irina Volk.
An investigator of the Investigative Directorate of the Department of Internal Affairs for the Zelenograd Autonomous District of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia in Moscow initiated a criminal case on the grounds of a crime under part four of Article 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. Currently, 42 people have been recognized as victims. The total damage exceeds 71 million rubles.
"As a result of operational-search measures, the police detained one of the owners of the company. During the search at the address of his residence, documents, mobile phones, bank cards and other items of evidentiary value were seized.
Currently, the defendant has been charged with the incriminated act and a preventive measure in the form of detention has been chosen. The preliminary investigation is ongoing", Irina Volk said.
