A suspect in an attack on financial organizations at the direction of fraudsters has been detained in Ufa. This was announced on May 14 by the press service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Bashkortostan in the Telegram channel.
It is specified that the robberies occurred on May 13. A woman came to a microfinance organization (MFO) under the guise of a client, threatened to "blow up the office" and demanded 24 thousand rubles from a terrified employee, took the money and later disappeared. According to the agency, during the attack, the attacker was talking to a man who threatened on the phone that the suspect would "pull the pin" if she did not give the money.
On the same day, the incident happened again: an employee of another financial company contacted the police. According to her, a woman with a similar appearance threatened to explode, took more than 100 thousand rubles from the cash register and left.
In the evening, the suspect was detained. It turned out that she had become a victim of fraudsters who introduced themselves as FSB and Rosfinmonitoring officers, convinced her that a loan had been issued in her name for transfer abroad, and then forced her to give 300 thousand rubles. After an imaginary FSB officer called her and ordered her to buy airsoft grenades, then go to banks and rob them, threatening "an explosion."
A criminal case has been opened.
