A resident of Krasnoyarsk will stand trial for large-scale fraud in the sale of non-existent housing.
According to the prosecutor's office, the 43-year-old woman began her criminal activities in December 2022. She posted advertisements on social networks for help with the purchase of a home, promising support for the transaction, favorable conditions and assistance in obtaining a mortgage.
“Then sales and purchase agreements, booking agreements were concluded, receipts and apartment plans were drawn up, and conversations were held about the bank that was about to approve the desired decision. Sometimes it was about a house under construction, sometimes about the owner who was supposedly ready to make a deal. The woman was always in touch, answered calmly and confidently, and therefore the buyers did not immediately become alarmed. This was the calculation – the apartments for which people transferred money did not actually exist. Some victims were waiting for construction to be completed, while others explained the delays by the peculiarities of banking procedures. And while people hoped, paid and believed, the money did not go where they were promised. In this way, the false realtor stole 29.5 million rubles from clients,” the supervisory agency said.
The prosecutor approved charges against her under Part 1. 2, 4 tbsp. 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. The woman herself does not admit guilt and insists that she transferred money to developers and owners, and considers part of the amounts to be payment for her services.
The criminal case will be considered by the Sovetsky District Court of Krasnoyarsk.
