A court in St. Petersburg took into custody for two months a native of Bryansk, Sergei Lukyanov, one of the members of the group that was involved in illegal cash withdrawals, writes 78.ru.
According to the publication, for the last month he worked as the general director of a banking organization. It is reported that he had no previous convictions, but was under house arrest in St. Petersburg in a case of fraud on a particularly large scale.
The Investigative Committee reported that seven members of the criminal group have now been detained in St. Petersburg. Among them, only one is a native of St. Petersburg – a 27-year-old unemployed young man.
Earlier, MR7 wrote that the Investigative Committee is investigating a criminal case about the creation of a criminal community in St. Petersburg. Yesterday, April 25, the suspects were searched.
“More than 150 current accounts of individuals and legal entities have been seized,” the department noted. In total, the Investigative Committee conducted more than 40 searches.
The group consists of approximately 80 participants, including people from the North Caucasus republics. The “cashers” received part of the money from government contracts concluded in various regions of the Russian Federation.
A criminal case was opened under parts 1 and 2 of Article 210 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (organization of a criminal community and participation in it, up to 20 years in prison).
