A fraudster who lured out 4 million rubles under the guise of an FSB bribe was detained in the DPR

The Department of the Russian Federal Security Service for the Donetsk People's Republic (DPR) has red-handed detained a local resident involved in a particularly large-scale fraud. This was announced on April 22 in the press service of the department.

"The man informed his acquaintance that through personal contacts in the FSB he could help end the criminal case against his relative, who had previously been detained by the regional FSB Directorate for bribery," the FSB said.

Under this pretext, the attacker extorted 4 million rubles from the man, which he was supposed to transfer to the investigators. Employees of the Federal Security Service of Russia for the DPR detained a fraudster while receiving money from an acquaintance.

The operational materials were transferred to the investigative department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the DPR for making a procedural decision. The FSB recalled that department employees never require citizens to perform any financial transactions.

On April 2, two suspects were detained in the Lipetsk region for embezzling more than 10 million rubles from participants in a special military operation. The Interior Ministry clarified that in the period from September 2024 to October 2025, the defendants were looking for single or unemployed men fit for military service. Under the guise of taking care of the safety of funds, they convinced the victims to transfer bank cards or open access to a mobile bank, after which they transferred the stolen amounts to their accounts or cashed out through ATMs.
