The investigation unit of the MIA Administration for the city of Smolensk initiated criminal investigations against a local resident suspected of theft of funds by deception.

A woman resident of the city, turned to the police for assistance and said that her colleague, Chief Accountant of one of the Smolensk enterprises, asked her to apply for a consumer loan in the amount of five hundred thousand rubles. According to the woman who had applied to the police, to ensure the receipt of the loan, the accountant forged the income statement, deliberately overstating the size of the salary. After a while the offender stopped making payments on the loan, and the bank's employees started calling the woman who had documented the loan to her own name.

The audit, conducted by officers of the Administration of Economic Security and Combating the Corruption of the MIA Administration for the Smolensk Region, found that the suspect was involved as well in seven similar episodes of the crime. In all the cases, the 31-year-old resident of the regional center used the same scheme - she documented loans to the names of her colleagues.

As a result of offender's actions a material damage totaling more than two million rubles was caused to eight different banks.
