In the Primorsky Territory, a court sent a 41-year-old villager to a pre-trial detention center on charges of fraud with payments assigned due to the death of his acquaintance during the war, the regional prosecutor's office reported. The wife of the arrested man also became accused; the court placed her under house arrest.
According to the investigation, the couple in June 2023 persuaded a 46-year-old handyman who lived in their private house in the Yakovlevsky district to enter into a fictitious marriage with 63 -year-old woman and go to war.
In October, after the death of the worker, the couple withdrew from the bank the payments that the man's wife had received, 8 million rubles. A case was opened against them for fraud on an especially large scale (part 4 of Article 159 of the Criminal Code).
