A fraudster from Chechnya, who hid from court for more than a year, was detained in Ingushetia
Law enforcement officers detained a 55-year-old resident of the Nadterechny district of Chechnya, accused of a number of crimes under the article “fraud”, who had been on the federal wanted list since August last year, reports the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for the North Caucasus Federal District.
According to the department, in 2007 in Grozny, the accused prepared fictitious documents for real estate under construction or just built. Moreover, she chose living quarters that were not yet occupied. Through advertisements, the fraudster found potential buyers, showed prepared documents according to which the apartment or house belonged to her, and concluded transactions. Having received the deposit, the swindler handed over the completed documents and disappeared. As a rule, the legal owners of the property did not immediately discover new residents, but when they did, they immediately contacted the internal affairs authorities. They sought restoration of their rights to real estate through the courts.
“Another source through which the enterprising woman became considerably rich was certificates for maternity capital. She offered to help young parents “cash them in.” Having received the certificate and all the necessary information, the fraudster disappeared, leaving her former clients with nothing. She herself, through various trading The company, according to the scheme developed by it, in violation of the law, received cash,” the report says.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs notes that in addition to this, the fraudster began processing documents for early retirement. None of those who wished to go on a not entirely deserved vacation received the promised pensioner status, but they parted with a very substantial amount. The fraudster hoped that none of her offended clients would go to write a statement to the police department, because he, too, was going to become an accomplice in the crime.
As investigators managed to establish, the woman was involved in 27 cases of fraudulent activity, and the damage she caused to the residents of the republic is estimated at several million rubles. When the criminal investigation was completed and a court hearing was scheduled, the accused suddenly disappeared. She moved out of the apartment and turned off her cell phone. Neither friends nor relatives knew where the woman could be. The police assumed that the accused had left Chechnya.
As it turned out later, the police were not mistaken. “In one of the houses in the village of Ekazhevo, Ingushetia, police officers discovered a fraudster hiding behind a closet in an inconspicuous room,” the press release says. Currently, the accused has been detained and is in custody, where she will await trial.
