The police detained a resident of Lipetsk who deceived more than 30 Russians

A suspect in defrauding over 30 Russians worth more than 2 million rubles was detained by the Ugra police — the attacker turned out to be a 56-year-old resident of Lipetsk. This was reported on September 26 in the Telegram channel "MIA Media".

"Ugra police suspect a 56-year-old Lipetsk resident of defrauding over 30 Russians of more than 2 million rubles. <...> the suspect has been identified and detained," the publication says.

It is clarified that the scheme previously convicted for 15 episodes of fraud was carefully thought out. The suspect posted advertisements on the Internet and on popular trading platforms for the sale of car parts for foreign cars, entered into correspondence with the victim, from whom he demanded a full prepayment of the potential product in exchange for a document confirming the shipment of the order, and after receiving the funds stopped answering incoming calls.

During the search, nine mobile phones and 66 SIM cards were found in the possession of the fully confessed and repentant attacker. In addition, he had computer equipment and other physical evidence at his disposal.

The ministry clarified that a criminal case was opened against Lipchanin, who may have been involved in the commission of over 32 similar crimes, under Article 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation ("Fraud"). It is noted that the investigation of the incident is currently ongoing.

On September 16, the Investigative Department of the Investigative Committee of Russia (SU TFR) in the Primorsky Territory reported the detention of seven members of a criminal group who fraudulently acquired the right to a plot of land in the form of "common land." A criminal case was opened against these individuals who incorrectly reflected geographical coordinates on the map for their fraud under Part 4 of Article 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation ("Fraud committed by an organized group or on an especially large scale or which resulted in the deprivation of a citizen's right to housing").
