"Dropper" from Sovetsk was placed under his mother's supervision by court order.

      The investigative department of the Intermunicipal Division of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia “Sovetsky” has completed the investigation into a criminal case concerning unlawful transactions using electronic means of payment, committed for pecuniary gain at the instruction and in the interests of another person. According to the press service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for the Kirov Region, criminal liability for such actions was introduced into the Criminal Code in July 2025.

      According to the investigation, a 17‑year‑old resident of Sovetsk was looking for additional earnings online and began corresponding with an unknown person. He offered her, for a 5% commission on the transfer amounts, to receive money into her bank account and forward it to the specified account details. The girl agreed and provided the stranger with her card details.

      A few days later 26,760 rubles were credited to the minor’s account. Of these, she transferred 25,442 rubles at the interlocutor’s instruction and spent the remaining amount on personal needs.

      A criminal case was opened against the girl under Part 4 of Article 187 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (Unlawful turnover of means of payment). During the investigation she fully admitted her guilt and expressed remorse.

      Considering that the defendant committed a minor offense for the first time and is positively characterized, the investigator petitioned the court to apply a compulsory educational measure to her.

      The Sovetsky District Court granted the petition: the minor was given a warning and placed under her mother’s supervision for a period of eight months.
