In Yalta, the entrepreneur was convicted for theft of 32 million rubles from his ex-wife

Yalta city court sentenced 56-year-old businessman to two years in prison for theft from the apartment of his ex-wife 300 thousand dollars and 2.5 million rubles. This was reported by the press service of the Interior Ministry in Crimea.

According to police, in September 2023, the man learned that his ex-wife and son had left for a long time. He picked up the keys, broke into the apartment and took the money from the stash under the bed. Before that, the entrepreneur wore gloves.

The woman found out about the disappearance in May 2024, when she returned home, and went to the police. During the inspection of the apartment, operatives found a check on cashing 50 thousand rubles. Police found out that the document belonged to the ex-husband of the victim.

The man denied involvement in the theft and cited business income. However, according to the investigation, at that time his company experienced serious financial difficulties, which were resolved after receiving a large sum.

Examinations and tracking of the movement of money showed that the stolen funds were transferred to cryptocurrency and taken abroad. During the search, the entrepreneur found a thousand dollars under a rubber mat on a computer desk.

He explained that it was his money returned to the account of the debt. The examination found the victim's DNA on the banknote. The man then pleaded guilty.

According to investigators, he installed hidden cameras in his ex-wife’s apartment in advance, found out where his savings were stored, and then took them away. He accidentally left the cash check at the crime scene.

The entrepreneur transferred most of the money to cryptocurrency and brought it abroad, and hid a thousand dollars under the mat. The court found the evidence sufficient and appointed the man two years of imprisonment under part 4 of article 158 of the criminal code.
