Employees of UEBiPK of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia in the Perm Region together with colleagues from the department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia "Bardymsky" detained a 29-year-old resident of Barda. He is suspected of embezzling budget funds using the Pushkin Map project, implemented as part of the national Culture project.
It was previously established that in 2023 the attacker, in cooperation with unidentified persons, organized a scheme for withdrawing money from Pushkin Cards.
"In order to commit a crime, the man got access to one of the online ticket sales services. Using a special app, he posted information about holding fictional cultural and leisure events. Pushkin Card holders purchased tickets to concerts, discos, and interactive games that were not organized or conducted in reality. After payment, the funds were transferred to accounts controlled by the attacker.
The investigative authorities opened a criminal case under part 4 of Article 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. According to a court decision, a preventive measure in the form of remand in custody was chosen against the suspect," said Irina Volk, an official representative of the Russian Interior Ministry.
