Kidnapped from St. Petersburg businessman 35 million fraudster seized by FSB officers

The FSB of Russia in the Leningrad Military District and the GUUR of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia successfully suppressed the illegal actions of the 49-year-old Russian. This was reported in the press service of the FSB of Russia in St. Petersburg and the Leningrad region.

As a result of operational-search work, it was found out that the 49-year-old suspect posed as a high-ranking security officer. The man claimed that he was engaged in the production of unmanned aerial vehicles. Deceivingly, abusing the trust of an entrepreneur from St. Petersburg, the attacker eventually stole more than 35 million rubles from the businessman.

In the Petrograd district of St. Petersburg, the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation opened a criminal case under the article on fraud.

The suspect in the offence was arrested and taken into custody. Security personnel are currently undertaking other necessary operational activities. Earlier, “MK in the Leningrad region” wrote that the UK opened a case after the collision of a teenager on an ATV with a power line in Gatchina.
