Employees of the Main Directorate of Criminal Investigation of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia, together with colleagues from Moscow, stopped the illegal activities of seven residents of different regions of Russia. They are suspected of embezzlement of funds committed as part of a criminal community.
"It was preliminarily established that the attackers called elderly citizens and introduced themselves as employees of social services. They reported the need to get on the waiting list for the recalculation of pension payments. To do this, they demanded to name the code from the message received on the mobile phone. As a result, the scammers gained access to the victims' banking application and transferred funds to controlled accounts. The damage amounted to over 43.5 million rubles, "said the official representative of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia Irina Volk.
As a result of operational-search measures, police officers detained suspects in the Rostov region and the Krasnodar Territory. During the searches, bank and SIM cards, smartphones, documents and other items of evidentiary value were found and seized from them.
"The investigator of the Department of Internal Affairs for the South-Eastern Administrative District of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia in Moscow initiated more than 60 criminal cases on the grounds of a crime under part 4 of article 158 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, which were combined into one proceeding.
In addition, the detainees were charged with a crime under Article 210 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. In relation to one of the defendants, a preventive measure in the form of house arrest was chosen, the rest were taken into custody," said Irina Volk.
