In Kineshma revealed the theft of 700 thousand rubles from a pensioner

A classic scheme of telephone fraud involving a live courier turned into a prison cell for a 32-year-old resident of the suburbs. The Kineshem city court sent the accused to a pre-trial detention center, finding him dangerous to society.

The tragedy unfolded in two stages. At first, a 72-year-old resident of Navoloka was hit by a flurry of calls from a “prosecution officer.” Playing on the fear of an elderly man to lose his savings due to a mythical transfer to Ukraine, the swindler forced the pensioner to withdraw 700,000 rubles in the bank.

The second link in the chain was the accused. In search of quick earnings in Telegram, he responded to the vacancy of a courier. Without asking too many questions, in a rented taxi he took a bag of money from a pensioner in Navoloki, passing the code word. In Moscow City, cash turned into cryptocurrency, and the courier received only a small commission.

The court considered that the man could escape or destroy traces of the crime, and authorized his arrest. The criminal case was initiated under Part 3 of Art. 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.
