A pensioner from Kirov was returned 140,000 rubles stolen by scammers.

      According to the Prosecutor's Office of the Pervomaisky District, a pensioner became a victim of remote fraud: the fraudsters deceitfully took possession of her 140,000 rubles. A criminal case was initiated regarding the incident under Part 4 of Article 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation ("Fraud"). During the investigation, it was revealed that the stolen funds were transferred to the account of a so-called dropper — a front person living in Ufa. The money was planned to be cashed out through this account. Since the victim, due to her age and life circumstances, could not independently defend her interests in court, the prosecutor's office filed a lawsuit for the recovery of the amount of unjust enrichment. The court granted the claims of the supervisory authority. As a result, the defendant fully compensated the pensioner for the material damage caused.
