In Komsomolsk-on-Amur, a criminal case has been initiated against a local resident on charges of fraud on a particularly large scale. This was reported on December 26 by Anastasia Ushakova, acting senior assistant to the head of the Investigative Department (ID) of the Investigative Committee (IC) of Russia's Khabarovsk Territory and Jewish Autonomous Region.

"A criminal case has been instituted against a local resident born in 1993. He is accused of committing a crime under part 4 of article 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (fraud, i.e. theft of other people's property by deception, committed on a particularly large scale)," she informed.

According to preliminary data, the accused tracked down a friend of the defendant in the criminal case, who was engaged in illegal organization of gambling, and offered him for a bribe of 6.5 million rubles to solve the issue of termination of criminal prosecution. The man planned to embezzle the money.

However, an acquaintance of the convicted man turned to the FSB of Russia in Khabarovsk Krai. After handing over part of the money in the amount of Br2 million, the man was detained.
