Investigative agencies of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation in the Republic of North Ossetia -Alania launched six criminal cases against 56-year-old lawyer of the Legal Association of the Moscow region Taisiya Baskayeva. She is suspected of committing an offense under Part 3 of Article 159 of the RF Criminal Code (fraud on a large scale - 6 episodes).
According to investigators, February 19, 2013, the European Court of Human Rights awarded a sum of money amounting to more than 3.5 million rubles to six former and current employees of the Russian Emergencies Ministry in the Republic of North Ossetia-Alania for the performance of duty in the zone of conflict in the Republic. Employees' interests were represented by the lawyer of the Legal Association of the Moscow region. Later, by deception, she organized a transfer of these funds to her personal bank account and, misleading her clients about the true amount of money awarded to each of them, she tried to get a receipt for the full sum. Her illegal actions caused victims’ losses at the specified amount. After that the woman disappeared and was put into the international wanted list.
Thanks to well-planned investigative actions and operational-search measures, the suspect was detained in the Moscow region and convoyed to the investigation venue. At the request of the investigating authorities to the court, she was remanded in custody.
It was reported earlier that Baskayeva was charged with committing 42 episodes of fraud for a sum in excess of 26.5 million rubles. In the near future, these criminal cases will be joined in one proceeding.
Currently, the necessary investigative actions necessary aimed at consolidating the evidence base are underway. The criminal investigation is ongoing.
