The crimes were committed in 2025. There were three victims Krasnoyarsk residents and one resident of the Mansko-Uyarsky district aged from 42 to 86 years. The scammers contacted them under the guise of representatives of law enforcement agencies and financial institutions, and convinced them to “declare” the money for safety purposes, handing it over to “competent employees.” Misled people followed the instructions of the attackers and gave their funds to the courier.
Operatives identified the messenger of the remote scammers and detained him – he turned out to be an 18-year-old resident of the Kemerovo region who had no previous convictions. Criminal cases were opened against the guy under Art. 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation “Fraud” and taken into custody.
“Thanks to the joint work of investigators from the Krasnoyarsk Territory police and bank employees, the funds stolen from the victims were returned in full – that’s 9.6 million rubles,” the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs said today.
