In Kherson region sent to court the case of fraud with harvesters for 56 million rubles

The Prosecutor’s office of the Kherson region approved the indictment in a criminal case against a 41-year-old local resident. She is charged under part 4 of Article 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation - fraud committed by a group of persons on a preliminary conspiracy on an especially large scale. The crime was investigated by regional investigators.

According to the investigation, the accused, having agreed with her friend, received from him fake Ukrainian registration certificates for five harvesters "John Deere" with a total value of more than 56 million rubles, which were subject to nationalization and transfer to the ownership of the Kherson region.

In the summer of 2024, using forged documents, she registered agricultural machines in her name, thereby illegally acquired ownership of them and received documents of the Russian sample. Subsequently, she managed to sell one of the combines at a price much lower than the market.

During the preliminary investigation, all harvesters were seized and transferred to the state ownership of the region. The criminal case was sent by the prosecutor's office to the Genic District Court of Kherson region for consideration on the merits.

In relation to the accomplice of the accused, who provided her with forged documents, the criminal case is separated into a separate proceeding and he is wanted.
