The Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation, in cooperation with the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia on the territory of the Republic of Dagestan, detained five members of an organized group involved in the creation and implementation of a fraudulent scheme to steal funds of Russian citizens in the interests of Ukrainian call centers.
It was established that the attackers, using fictitious documents, entered into contracts with domestic telecom operators for the provision of IP telephony services in the form of obtaining multi-channel fixed-line telephone numbers for use. After that, with the help of special equipment, they provided access to the multi-channel communication system to the citizens of Ukraine. Fraudulent calls to Russian citizens were made from these numbers on behalf of Russian law enforcement agencies, special services, credit and financial institutions.
During searches carried out at the places of residence and work of the suspects, information carriers, means of communication and office equipment used for criminal purposes were seized.
The preliminary damage from this illegal activity is more than 100 million rubles, while its final amount may be much higher in connection with new information. Law enforcement agencies are also checking the version of the use of funds obtained by criminal means to finance the Armed Forces of Ukraine during the Special Military Operation.
On the basis of the materials submitted to the FSB of Russia in the Republic of Dagestan, the investigative unit of the Investigative Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia in the Republic of Dagestan initiated a criminal case against the detainees on the grounds of a crime under Part 5 of Article 33, Part 4 of Article 159 of the Criminal Code of Russia. By court decision, the members of the organized group were taken into custody.
In addition, more than 190 criminal cases have been initiated in various regions of the country on the facts of fraudulent actions using the means of communication of the defendants.
