In Kursk took into custody Muscovite in the case of fraud for 3.8 million rubles

The industrial district court of Kursk decided to detain a 19-year-old resident of Moscow, accused of fraud on an especially large scale, committed as part of an organized group.

According to the investigation, at the end of October 2026, an unidentified person, using deception, stole 3,840,000 rubles from a pensioner from Kursk. During the investigation of the criminal case, a 19-year-old Muscovite who played the role of a courier in a fraudulent scheme was charged. The young man was detained on November 6, 2026, the press service of the courts of the Kursk region said.

The investigator applied for a preventive measure in the form of remand in custody, arguing this by the gravity of the charge and the likelihood that the accused could escape from the investigation or continue criminal activities.

The court, having considered the case materials, concluded the accused in custody for a period of 1 month 24 days, until December 29, 2026. The ruling has not yet entered into force and may be appealed.
