“Employees of the Criminal Investigation Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the Kabardino-Balkarian Republic detained two suspects in a series of thefts from bank accounts of citizens.

In June of this year, a young woman applied to the Prokhladnensky Intermunicipal Police Department. She said that a representative of a credit institution called her and offered to exchange the allegedly accrued bonuses for money. After giving consent to the operation, the victim provided the stranger with the code from the SMS message from the bank, after which 134,500 rubles were debited from her account.

On this fact, a criminal case was initiated on the grounds of a crime provided for by paragraph "d" of part three of Article 158 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.

As a result of the operational-search activities, the police found that cousins - residents of the city of Volgograd, who have nothing to do with the bank, could be involved in the commission of this illegal act. They were detained and taken to the temporary detention center of the Intermunicipal Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia "Prokhladnensky", where they confessed to committing this and five other similar crimes against residents of the Kabardino-Balkarian Republic.

In the course of the investigative actions, it was established that the elder brother, changing his voice to a woman, called the residents of the Republic on behalf of the bank employee. Fraudulently, he gained access to their online banking accounts and transferred funds to his account. The younger brother cashed the stolen money. At the same time, the accomplices were far from Kabardino-Balkaria - on the territory of the Moscow and Tambov regions.

Currently, he has chosen a preventive measure in the form of detention.
