In Volgograd, the participant of the organized crime group is accused of fraud for 4.5 million rubles

The Prosecutor’s office of Volgograd sent to court a criminal case against a 20-year-old native of Penza – she is accused of fraud as part of an organized group (part 4 of article 159 of the criminal code).

According to the investigation, the attacker, together with accomplices, lured money from pensioners according to the worked-out scheme. At first, the participants of the organized criminal group called the elderly and, under the pretext of expiry of the contract, reported about the allegedly impending disconnection of communication services, simultaneously collecting personal data. Then the victims came home, posing as law enforcement officers: they claimed that they unwittingly helped the fraudsters, and threatened criminal liability. In order to “settle the situation”, pensioners were forced to transfer personal savings allegedly for accounting and declaring.

As a result of the actions of the criminal group, 10 pensioners suffered, the total damage exceeded 4.5 million rubles. The criminal case has been taken to court.
