A resident of the Bakhchisarai district will be held accountable for fraud with maternity capital

CrimeaPRESS reports:

The Bakhchisaray district prosecutor’s office supported the state prosecution in a criminal case against a local resident. She was found guilty of committing a crime under Part 3 of Art. 159.2 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (fraud in receiving payments).

The court established that the convict, being a mother of two children, wishing to cash out funds from her maternity capital, in October 2019 applied to a consumer credit cooperative operating in the city of Bakhchisarai.

The convict issued a power of attorney to an official of the cooperative, on the basis of which a plot of land was purchased in her name in one of the settlements of the Volgograd region. Next, the woman entered into a fictitious consumer loan agreement with the cooperative in the amount of 453 thousand rubles for the construction of a residential building on the purchased land plot. In order to cash out funds from maternity capital, the attacker submitted the specified fictitious agreement to the territorial administration of the pension fund of the Russian Federation with a statement of desire to use it to pay off the debt to the cooperative— reported the prosecutor’s office.

In this way, the defendant received more than 450 thousand rubles, part of which she transferred to an official of the cooperative, and disposed of the rest at her own discretion.

A criminal case against an official of the cooperative has been separated into separate proceedings, and the investigation continues.

The court, taking into account the position of the state prosecutor, sentenced the woman to 2 years of imprisonment, which was suspended with a probationary period for a similar period. The prosecutor’s claim to recover damages caused by the crime from the defendant was satisfied.
