Employees of the Criminal Investigation Department of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for St. Petersburg and the Leningrad Region detained three residents of the Northern capital. They are suspected of fraud committed by a group of persons by prior agreement on a large scale.
According to investigators, the attackers posted information about the sale of sea transport containers on the Internet service for free ads. The buyers were sure that they were dealing with representatives of a legal entity, therefore, at the direction of the scammers, they transferred the full prepayment to the details indicated by them. However, after receiving the money, the sellers did not deliver the goods to customers and stopped communicating.
“Currently, five episodes of fraud have been documented, three of which were committed against individuals and two against organizations. The total damage amounted to more than 1.3 million rubles.
Searches were carried out at the places of residence of the detainees, as a result of which computer equipment, communications equipment, 68 bank cards, cash and other items of evidentiary value were seized.
Criminal cases were initiated on the grounds of a crime under Article 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. They are combined into one proceeding and are being investigated by the investigator of the Main Directorate of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for St. Petersburg and the Leningrad Region. In relation to one defendant, a measure of restraint in the form of house arrest was chosen, for two - in the form of a ban on certain actions.
The police are taking measures to establish all episodes of illegal activity,” said the official representative of the Russian Interior Ministry, Irina Volk.
