Eight members of an organized group will stand trial in Krasnoyarsk for theft of budget funds and money laundering. This was reported to the regional prosecutor's office.
In March 2020, a 34-year-old Krasnoyarsk woman, together with the head of the Family Capital CPC, came up with a scheme for cashing out maternity capital. To implement their plan, they recruited a team of more than 7 assistants, opened offices, built a structure, and distributed roles. Women with state certificates for maternity capital came to these offices. They were offered a “profitable scheme”: to apply for a targeted loan from a cooperative for the construction of a residential building on a plot of land.
On paper, everything looked legal – a loan agreement, a purchase and sale agreement for a plot for individual housing construction, certificates, obligations. But behind the legal formulations a completely different reality was hidden. In fact, the family received only part of the funds “in hand”: from 30 to 70 thousand rubles were spent on the “services” of the cooperative, and another from 40 to 100 thousand rubles were spent on the purchase of a land plot. The sites themselves, as it turned out later, were often remote, without any infrastructure nearby.
“After this, the KPK prepared documents with false information: that the loan proceeds would actually be used for construction, that the family had the intention to build housing. The papers were sent to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation, which, unaware of the scheme, transferred budget funds to the cooperative’s account to repay the loan. Over 1.5 years, 149 holders of state certificates passed through this scheme. The state suffered damage in the amount of 79 million rubles,” the press service of the supervisory agency said.
At the same time, the organizer acted not only as a coordinator, but also as a “financial center.” While managing the organization’s accounts, she, along with other participants, withdrew the stolen money under the guise of legitimate transactions – as if the cooperative was only returning their investments to its shareholders. Thus, more than 17 million rubles were legalized from CCP accounts. under the guise of “issuing shares.”
For many clients, it all ended with the fact that maternity capital was formally spent, and the family no longer had the opportunity to re-use this measure of support.
Depending on the role, the regional prosecutor's office charged the accomplices with fraud in receiving payments (Part 4 of Article 159.2 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation) and legalization of criminal proceeds (clauses “a, b” of Part 4 of Article 174.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation).
The criminal case will be considered by the Kirovsky District Court of Krasnoyarsk. Based on the totality of crimes, the organizer and her accomplices face over 10 years in prison.
