In Sverdlovsk Oblast, a bank employee stole 7 million rubles from clients.

      The Leninsky District Court of Nizhny Tagil sentenced a former bank employee who stole 7 million rubles from the bank and its clients to two years. This was reported by the press service of the Sverdlovsk courts.

      Marina Zakharova, who worked as a senior financial expert at Sovcombank, used her position to commit fraud between November 2023 and January 2025. Under the guise of helping with loan refinancing or opening deposits, she tricked clients into providing confirmation codes. She then secretly took out loans in their names or transferred money, after which she withdrew cash at ATMs and spent it on purchases.

      Thus, she stole more than seven million rubles, part of which belonged to the bank itself and part to clients’ savings. She managed to reimburse part of the loss before the trial. The court found Zakharova guilty of theft on an especially large scale and sentenced her to two years in a general-regime penal colony, Ura.Ru reports.

      Earlier it was reported that in Sverdlovsk Oblast a granddaughter had substituted her grandfather’s 500,000 rubles with novelty banknotes.
