In Alushta, a man received 2.5 years of strict regime for spending from someone else’s card

Alushta city court found 42-year-old local resident guilty of theft from a bank account. This was reported in the Prosecutor’s office of Crimea.

According to the court, in September 2024, the accused received a bank card from a friend, which was needed for a pre-arranged purchase. After the goods were purchased, the man did not return the card, but left it to himself.

Secretly from the owner, he used contactless payment and bought goods in various shops in the city. The total amount of damage exceeded 29 thousand rubles.

The court imposed a sentence of two years and six months imprisonment with serving in a strict-security correctional colony. The sentence has not entered into force.

In March 2026, the court sentenced a 28-year-old resident of the Kirov district: he stole a card from a woman and went shopping. Taking into account the position of the state prosecutor, he was sentenced to a year of suspended imprisonment with probation for the same period.

In March 2025, a 38-year-old resident of Alushta appeared in court. He received a card of a friend to buy groceries, but did not return it and paid it in stores for five days, spending 10 thousand rubles. He was sentenced to a year of probation for a similar period.
