"I have a plan." A postmaster in the Urals was convicted of misappropriating lottery tickets.
The Verkhnepyshminsky City Court on Friday, November 28 delivered a verdict in the criminal case of embezzlement of lottery tickets against the former head of the postal branch of JSC "Russian Post", Nadezhda Kostyukhina, the Prosecutor’s Office of the Sverdlovsk Region reports.
According to the investigation, from July 2023 to July 2024 Kostyukhina, as head of the postal branch and as the materially responsible person whose duties included ensuring the safekeeping of the lottery tickets entrusted to her, appropriated them and conducted draws.
The shortfall in lottery tickets totaling more than 170,000 rubles was revealed during an audit, the prosecutor’s office said.
Kostyukhina would take batches of incoming lottery tickets and erase the special protective barcode from them. If a ticket was a winner, she registered it as sold and entered into the system information about purportedly paid-out funds for it. In fact, she put money into the cash register to conceal the shortage. Tickets that had won nothing she simply set aside with the other losing tickets.
The defendant was found guilty under Part 1 of Article 160 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (misappropriation). She did not admit her guilt at the court hearing. During the preliminary investigation Kostyukhina explained that she acted this way in order to meet the monthly and daily sales targets for lottery tickets.
The Verkhnepyshminsky City Court sentenced Nadezhda Kostyukhina to 200 hours of compulsory community service.
