Greed is bad, cunning is bad, but gullibility is also so-so. «Money» case in Sevastopol

CrimeaPRESS reports:

In Sevastopol, operatives detained a suspect suspected of embezzling and embezzling money from an acquaintance. As the Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs said, the cunning and greedy attacker took advantage of the fact that he could freely manage his friend’s money to buy building materials, and decided to appropriate some amount for himself.

A 71-year-old local resident hired a 38-year-old acquaintance as his assistant to build a dacha, and entrusted him with a bank card to pay for construction materials. Since a trusting relationship had developed between the men, the pensioner did not suspect his friend’s criminal intent and did not control the transactions that he carried out. Meanwhile, while paying for another purchase, the attacker decided to appropriate part of the victim’s funds. To do this, he cashed out about 39 thousand rubles from a bank card and simply kept it for himself, citing the fact that he had purchased the necessary materials for the specified amount. When the pensioner discovered a discrepancy between the volume of goods purchased and the funds spent, he filed a complaint with the police— they told the details of the instructive story at the Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the city of Sevastopol.

Criminal investigation officers of the Department of Internal Affairs of Russia in the Nakhimovsky district detained the attacker, and the investigative department opened a criminal case against him under Part 2 of Art. 160 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (“Misappropriation or embezzlement committed causing significant damage to a citizen”). The sanction of the article provides for punishment in the form of imprisonment for a term of up to 5 years.
