Northern widow could not force the bank to return the money cheated by fraudsters husband

A resident of the Murmansk region tried through the court to return more than three million rubles, which her deceased husband transferred to fraudsters. This was reported by the press service of the North Sea District Court of the region.

In September 2024, unknown people deceived the man that he could make money on the financial exchange. He transferred the money first from his accounts in one bank to another and then to a third party account. The heiress considered that the bank did not identify suspicious transactions, and filed a lawsuit.

The court found that the man made the transfers himself through his personal account from his phone and the same IP address. He confirmed each translation with SMS codes. No signs of transfer were found without the voluntary consent of the client. The money went to the account that the man indicated himself.

The court also noted that reporting fraud to the police did not in itself prove the invalidity of the operations. The lawsuit was denied entirely. The decision has not yet entered into legal force.

Earlier, “MK in Murmansk” said that the sister of the deceased in Zapolyarny inherited an apartment along with 140 thousand rubles of debt.
