According to preliminary investigation data, the 20-year-old Kyrgyz woman, acting as part of an organized criminal group, along with a 19-year-old resident of Rostov-on-Don, stole 6 million rubles from a courier of the fraudsters.
It turned out that this money was the proceeds from the sale of real estate, which a deceived pensioner from Anapa withdrew from his bank account, planning to place it in a "safe account." The suspects then converted the stolen money into cryptocurrency, local police reported.
In connection with this incident, a criminal case has been initiated under the article on fraud committed by an organized group, or in especially large amounts, which may lead to the deprivation of a citizen's right to housing. The detainees could face up to 10 years of imprisonment.
During the investigation, other individuals involved in this crime are also being identified.
