A teenager from Kazan took 30 million from a resident of Kirov.

      The details of a crime in which a trusting resident of Kirov became a victim have been revealed by the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Kirov region. The man lost 30 million after believing phone scammers. It all started on March 10. The victim received a call from an unknown person claiming to be an FSB employee. Later, other "officials" joined the conversation — supposedly from the Central Bank and Rosfinmonitoring. Under psychological pressure, the man was convinced that his savings were at risk of being written off, and that loans were already being attempted in his name. The criminals claimed that these funds could be sent to Ukraine to finance banned organizations. The victim agreed to the proposed "rescue" option — to transfer the money to a safe account. On March 16, he met on the street with a previously unknown guy and handed him 30 million rubles in cash. After handing over the money, the man waited two weeks for a favorable outcome, but the miracle did not happen. At the beginning of the autumn, realizing he had been deceived, the citizen filed a report with the internal affairs authorities. Employees of the criminal investigation department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia in the Kirov region conducted operational search activities and tracked down the suspected criminal. He turned out to be a 21-year-old resident of Kazan. It turned out that he was acting as part of a group, where he had two accomplices. Currently, the police have established the group's involvement in several similar crimes in other regions of the country. The detainee was brought to Kirov. The court decided to remand him in custody, where he will remain until the start of the trial. Criminal cases have been initiated, and the investigation is ongoing.
