The investigator of the investigative unit of the SU of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia in the Kurgan region has completed the investigation of a criminal case against a 22-year-old resident of Kurgan, accused of 25 episodes of fraud.
During the investigation, it was established that in the period from November 2022 to January 2023, the young man fraudulently stole money from residents of different regions of the country. Using a fake account, he created a community in one of the popular social networks, where he posted information about the sale of clothing and shoes, which he allegedly intended to sell remotely. In reality, the offered goods were not available to the attacker and he did not plan to fulfill his obligations to sell and deliver things.
To conceal his identity, the defendant asked a friend for access to her bank card and the bank's mobile application in order to receive funds from victims. He did not inform the woman about the criminal nature of his activities.
Thus, the malefactor received from citizens an advance payment for goods in the amount of 100%, but did not deliver the promised orders and stopped contacting. Among the victims – one resident of Kurgan and 24 citizens living in other regions of the Russian Federation.
The criminal activity of the defendant was stopped by operatives of the Criminal Investigation Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia in the Kurgan region at the beginning of last year.
At present, the materials of the criminal case initiated on the grounds of a crime under Article 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation "Fraud" have been sent to the court for consideration on the merits.
