Scammers forced a woman to hide in a rented apartment
The details of the scam, the victim of which was the wife of the military commander, former commander-in-chief of the Airborne Forces Alexander Kolmakov, became known. The criminals played a whole criminal combination with her, as a result of which the 62-year-old woman ended up in Ramenskoye near Moscow.
As MK found out, for the first time, the crooks got in touch with Kolmakov's wife on April 10. Under various pretexts, they stole about 13 million rubles from her.
Then the woman was completely intimidated, saying that she would face criminal liability under article 275 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (“high treason”). The scammers explained that the woman needed to leave urgently. Moreover, they warned about the alleged mortal danger threatening her. Kolmakova was told that she was «put in liquidation» because her husband – military leader.
As a result, the swindlers called the woman a taxi and ordered her to hide in a rented apartment, which they rented for her in Ramenskoye. There she fled, and there she was found by law enforcement officers. A search is underway for intruders.
