Volgogradka will go to the colony for scams with matkapital for 16 million rubles

As reported in the regional office of the FSB, the woman participated in the scheme of embezzlement of budget funds in the framework of the program of financial support for families at the birth of children, acting as part of the national project “Demography”. She transferred to the branch of the Pension Fund of Russia in the Volgograd region deliberately false information on behalf of the owners of certificates for maternity capital. Thus, the appearance of legal registration of loans for the construction of residential buildings in Russia was created.

After the receipt of money to checking accounts, the woman cashed the funds. About 55% of the amount of maternity capital she transferred to clients, and the rest appropriated. The total damage from illegal activities exceeded 16 million rubles.

Based on the materials collected by the investigative bodies of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia in St. Petersburg and the Leningrad region, a criminal case was initiated against the woman and other participants in the scheme.

The Moscow district court of St. Petersburg found a resident of Volgograd guilty of 37 episodes of fraud when receiving payments. She was sentenced to 4 years and 6 months of imprisonment in a general regime correctional colony, as well as a fine of 300 thousand rubles.

The sentence has not yet entered into force and can be appealed.
