Elderly people were “divorced” under the pretext that their relatives were involved in road accidents.
In Simferopol, the prosecutor’s office approved a criminal indictment against two local residents. They are accused of committing crimes under Part 4 of Art. 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (fraud).
According to investigators, at the beginning of 2023, members of an organized group, pursuing the goal of illegal enrichment, provided victims, mostly elderly, with deliberately false information about road accidents involving their relatives or close persons. During the dialogue, they offered to transfer money to them for releasing relatives from liability— reported the prosecutor’s office.
The role of the accused in committing the incriminated crimes was to go to the victims and receive money from them. In total, the accused seized funds from 9 residents of the region in the amount of 10 million rubles.
The criminal case was sent to the Central District Court of Simferopol for consideration on the merits. The victims filed claims against the accused for damages caused by the crimes. The investigation into other members of the criminal group continues.
