A 41-year-old resident of Krasnoyarsk will appear in court on charges of stealing more than 20 million rubles from a fellow entrepreneur from Khakassia.
It was established that in 2021, the attacker asked the victim to provide him with a large loan, allegedly to develop a security business. He agreed and handed over the money, receiving documents for Lexus and MAZ cars and trucks as collateral.
“Under the terms of the agreement, the debt was to be repaid over several years. Instead, the friend disposed of the collateral property at his own discretion, and not for the promotion of business activities, and sold both cars. Thus, the victim lost both the money and the guarantee of its return,” said the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
A criminal case was opened and investigated against the Krasnoyarsk resident under Part 4 of Art. 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation “Fraud committed on an especially large scale.” The materials have now been sent to court. The sanction of the article provides for punishment in the form of imprisonment for a term of up to 10 years.
