A resident of Voronezh took an investment loan of 10 million in pledge of non-existent cars

According to the investigation, in 2024, the 60-year-old Voronezh, acting by proxy from an individual entrepreneur, transferred to the bank two fictitious contracts for the sale of Mercedes-Benz Sprinter and Ford Transit cars, which did not actually exist. On the basis of these papers, he was issued an investment loan - the pledge was considered allegedly bought cars.

The man used the credit money as he saw fit. He had no intention of transferring the vehicles as collateral and repaying the loan.

According to court decisions, half of the loan amount has already been recovered from the accused in civil proceedings.
