As a result, trusting these promises, the victim transferred 556,819 soms to the bank cards specified by the fraudsters. After the money was transferred, the criminals ceased communication with him.
This incident was registered, and a preliminary investigation was initiated. Based on the collected materials, a criminal case was opened under Article 209-1 of the Criminal Code, concerning the intentional transfer or sale of electronic payment means, virtual asset wallets, and SIM cards to third parties.
During operational-search activities, law enforcement agencies were able to identify and detain the suspect — 18-year-old J.N., who acted as an intermediary in this scheme.
The Internal Affairs Department noted that during the investigative actions, the detainee fully confessed to his guilt and compensated the victim for the damage caused. The investigation continues with the aim of identifying other members of the fraudulent group.
