In Achinsk, the student sold the data of his fellow students to register one-day companies

In the Krasnoyarsk Territory, a student of the Achinsky trade and economic college will appear before the court, who sold personal data of his fellow students.

The prosecutor’s office said that in October 2023, an 18-year-old resident of Achinsk on the Internet found a part-time job. The “employer” promised to pay 20 thousand rubles for a copy of a person’s passport who will agree to give his personal data for registration of one-day companies.

It took the guy several days to convince 11 fellow students to sell copies of their passports. Of the 20 thousand rubles, the student gave half the passport to the owner, and took the rest of the money to himself.

“The guys did not even suspect what such a“ deal ”could turn out. The side effects of “quick” money made themselves felt when students began to come to pay taxes. It turned out that the grief entrepreneurs became involuntary owners of 300 organizations, ”the press service said.

For the sale of personal data (part 1 of article 173.2 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation) and cooperation with scammers who use them not for good purposes, the court sentenced 16 guys to compulsory work for a period of 180 to 250 hours.

In relation to the “instigator”, the prosecutor approved the charges of illegal education of legal entities through fake persons (paragraph “b” of part 2 of article 173.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation). The criminal case will be considered by the Achinsky city court.
