The official representative of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Irina Volk, reported on her Telegram channel that police from the Chelyabinsk and Sverdlovsk regions, together with officers of the regional directorate of the FSB of Russia, have suppressed the activities of an ethnically based organized group specializing in the theft of payments intended for participants in the special military operation (SMO).

Seven suspects have been placed in custody. Searches were conducted at their places of residence: three cars, about 60 mobile phones, bank cards and SIM cards were seized.
