Dropper from Yoshkar-Ola received a sentence for theft of millions from a Yakut pensioner
The Yoshkar-Olinsky City Court has sentenced a 31-year-old man who acted as a cashier in a large fraudulent scheme.
The victim of the criminals was a pensioner from Yakutsk. Posing as employees of Rosfinmonitoring and law enforcement agencies, the attackers convinced the woman to transfer savings to a “safe account”. As a result, the old woman lost five million rubles, and then on the advice of scammers sold the only housing. The total damage amounted to 11.7 million rubles.
The defendant opened bank accounts in his name and cashed 4.4 million rubles of the stolen amount, transferring money to the gang leaders. For his services he received only 20 thousand rubles.
The court found Yoshkarolin guilty of embezzlement of funds as part of an organized group and appointed the dropper two years in a general regime colony. In addition, the claim of the victim was satisfied: the convict is obliged to compensate 4.4 million rubles for material damage and 300 thousand rubles for moral damage. The verdict has not yet entered into legal force, the joint press service of the courts and the Mari El prosecutor's office said.
