A large organized crime group was discovered in Moscow, which deceived people during currency exchange. In total, they stole more than 250 million rubles. Baza Telegram-channel reports.
According to it, the criminal group appeared in early April 2022.
«Its founders are 41-year-old Shakhmar Dzeytov and 36-year-old Shukmarbek Mavlyanov. The men paid attention to the great demand for currency due to the bans on exchange of currency introduced by the Central Bank and decided to earn extra money. Later, several more people joined them. In total, the criminal group included at least 13 people (one woman was among them). Almost all members of the organized crime group were natives of Kyrgyzstan,» the statement says.
Under the guise of foreign exchange transactions, the members of the group took money (most often for counting) and fled. At the same time, all members of the group had clearly assigned responsibilities: some of the participants were looking for people who wanted to exchange currency, others were engaged directly in exchange, and the third group provided security.
At the moment, seven people have been detained (six of them were arrested, one is banned certain actions). A criminal case has also been initiated against them under the article «Organization of a criminal community» of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.
Six more people were put on the federal wanted list.
