A local resident was detained in Mytishchi, who is suspected of fraud in obtaining a housing subsidy in the amount of more than 24 million rubles. This was reported on Friday, January 24, by the press service of the State Investigative Committee of the Investigative Committee of Russia in the Moscow region.
The woman was detained as part of the investigation of a criminal case under part 4 of article 159.2 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation ("Fraud in obtaining payments").
The investigation found that the suspect provided the administration with false data on her husband's income, understating it several times, and also provided a false extract from the house book with false information about the residence of 13 people at her address, including her brother and children, who actually live in Tajikistan.
"Illegal actions of the suspect entailed improper granting her family the status of low-income and in need of housing under a social rent agreement, which later led to the issuance of a certificate of their right to receive a housing subsidy in the amount of more than 24 million rubles for the purchase of an apartment or construction of a house in the Moscow region," the agency said in its Telegram channel.
In the course of the investigation, searches, interrogations and seized documents, including expensive phones that refute the low-income status of the family. Bank statements of the spouse have been requested. The investigation will also assess the actions of administration officials.
