A Krasnoyarsk resident who tried to collect 7.2 million rubles from his ex-wife for a non-existent debt became involved in a criminal case. This was reported to the regional prosecutor's office.

Two Krasnoyarsk entrepreneurs divorced more than two years ago. After this, the man was left with a debt of 11.1 million rubles, the woman – 7.2 million. The spouses formalized a settlement of claims, which officially paid off their obligations to each other. However, later the man demanded to collect her previous debt from his ex-wife.

Bailiffs initiated proceedings and seized the woman’s accounts, but she promptly provided a document on offset. The bailiffs canceled all arrests and damage was excluded.

The prosecutor's office, checking the situation, found that the absence of real damage does not negate the fact of an attempted fraud. A criminal case has been initiated under Part 4 of Article 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (fraud).
