Officers of the General Investigation Administration and the Administration of Economic Security and Combating the Corruption with the power support of the SPC of the MIA General Administration for the city of Moscow held a number of operational, search and investigative actions to detain persons involved in the theft of funds from a credit institution by fraud.

The Police found that in 2013, the offenders who were at that time on the staff of one of the metropolitan banks colluded to steal credit resources by providing false data on behalf of a borrower.

They prepared and provided to the additional office false documents. The Office reviewed the documents and concluded a loan agreement that was obviously unfeasible for the borrower, under which the bank transferred to the account of suspects the money in the amount of 2.5 million rubles. As a result, the terms of the contract were not met, and the transferred funds were misappropriated and distributed among the accomplices.

A criminal case was initiated under the "Fraud." article of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.

As a result of the searches at the residences of the suspects, police officers found and confiscated items and documents relevant to the investigation and two of the suspects were detained.

Currently, with respect to them a preventive measure has been selected in the form of their own recognizance and appropriate behavior.

In addition, during the subsequent search operations the Police uncovered two more episodes of the suspects' illegal activity. Thus, at the moment the amount of funds stolen from the bank is 7.5 million rubles.
