A young bank employee lived for almost six months on the money of a resident of Sverdlovsk, for whom he had previously issued a card.

      In Nizhny Tagil, a bank employee spent the money of a pensioner, for whom he had previously issued a card, on his own needs for several months. This was reported by the portal v-tagile.ru, citing the Leninsky District Court of the city.

      As reported by the Leninsky District Court, an 86-year-old woman, a disabled person of group 2, went to the office of one of the banks to receive her pension. The 21-year-old employee, who worked as a senior manager, issued an instant card in her name, helped set up the PIN code, but did not connect the SMS notification service.

      The client withdrew money from the card but forgot the plastic in the tray.

      The clerk, knowing the PIN code, transferred funds from her own deposits to the card forgotten by the pensioner through ATMs and began to spend someone else's money: he withdrew cash, paid in cafes and stores, and bought goods on marketplaces.

      The pensioner only discovered the loss of a large sum after several months. During this time, the former manager made about 250 transactions, stealing about 880,000 rubles from the pensioner's accounts, writes v-tagile.ru.

      The bank employee came forward and was charged with large-scale theft (subparagraphs "v" and "g" of part 3 of Article 158 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation). The bank fully reimbursed the client for the stolen funds and is now seeking damages from the now former employee through the court.
