The Sverdlovsk police have sent a fraud case involving 48 million rubles to court.
On September 5, 2026, investigators from the Internal Affairs Directorate of Nizhny Tagil completed the investigation of a criminal case initiated on the grounds of a crime provided for by part 4 of Article 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation — fraud committed by an organized group, causing significant damage. This was reported by the head of the press service of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for the Sverdlovsk region, Valery Gorelykh.
According to him, the suspects developed an illegal scheme, whose victims were young people under the age of 25. A 32-year-old native of Yekaterinburg is suspected of organizing the criminal group. The criminal presented himself to people as the head of a company specializing in providing legal services in the field of lending. According to the assigned role, he convinced the victims to take out credit obligations at banking institutions, after which he demanded that they transfer the received funds to him. In exchange for this, he made knowingly false promises of a monthly payment of 10% of the amount and full repayment of the debt to the lending organization in the future.
To implement his criminal intentions, the perpetrator involved five other accomplices in the gang. The responsibilities of the other participants included searching for potential victims, to whom they provided false information about the possibility of earning extra income by investing in business projects, as well as improving credit history. The illegal activities were conducted in several municipal formations of the Sverdlovsk region, including Yekaterinburg, Nizhny Tagil, Kamensk-Uralsky, and the Gorno-Uralsky urban district.
— As a result of the criminal actions of the suspects, 69 citizens have been recognized as victims. The total amount of material damage amounted to over 48 million rubles. Currently, investigators from the Nizhny Tagil police have completed the investigation of the criminal case. The indictment has been approved by the prosecutor's office, and the materials have been sent to the Lenin District Court for consideration on the merits, — noted Colonel Gorelykh.
