Fortune teller arrested in Nota Bank case

Fortune-teller Nonna Mihai was arrested in the case of fraud with money from Nota-Bank. This was simultaneously reported by the Elephant publication and the Dozhd TV channel , which are part of the same media holding.

According to Dozhd, Nonna Mihai was taken into custody on October 1. "Elephant" calls another date - October 3. Like four other defendants in the case, the fortuneteller is accused of fraud. On October 24, the Moscow City Court rejected Mihai's appeal against his arrest.

According to investigators, Nonna Mihai talked with the sister of the financial director of the bank, Larisa Marchukova. Among other things, they discussed monetary relations. The Rain publication states that Mihai "gave her advice based on divination, card reading, old books and coffee grounds."

During the meeting, Nonna Mihai's lawyer was surprised that the investigators were accusing his client of "fortune-telling, fortune telling, astral accompaniment of fate and other nonsense in the case of scammers in the form of complicity."
