The Leninsky (Minsk) regional department of the Investigative Committee is investigating a criminal case against a 31-year-old Minsker who is accused of fraud. This was reported to the Investigative Committee.
According to the investigation, the man deceived two residents of Minsk for a total amount of more than Br10 thousand. According to the materials of the case, the person involved in popular dating applications entered into the confidence of the girls and offered assistance in obtaining visas through the Estonian embassy. For their services, the defendant asked for about 200 euros.
In the process of communicating with the victims, the fraudster, under various far-fetched pretexts, demanded additional amounts of money for an accelerated process of obtaining a visa. The victims agreed and transferred the required amounts. A 33-year-old resident of the capital transferred Br7 thousand to the accused from May to June of this year.
It was established that the defendant spent the proceeds of crime on gambling. The man has already been convicted five times for committing property crimes, including for similar circumstances.
The Minsker was charged under Part 3 of Art. 209 of the Criminal Code (large-scale fraud). A measure of restraint in the form of detention was applied to him.
Investigators have reason to believe that there may be more facts of the man's illegal activities.
