The investigating bodies of the Russia’s Investigative Committee for the Republic of North Ossetia-Alania are investigating a criminal case against a criminal community set up by a man from Kabardino-Balkaria composed of eight people – all of them his relatives of friends. They are suspected of crimes under part 2 of article 327 of the RF Penal Code (forgery of documents to conceal another crime), part 4 of article 159 (fraud), paragraph “a” of part 2 of article 174.1 (money laundering on a large scale), part 1 of article 210 (organization of a criminal community).

According to investigators, the suspects acting as a criminal community, between 2010 and 2012 under a scheme developed in advance registered a cooperative in the tax bodies as a legal entity, rented an office and put there a signboard with contacts and services for cashing maternity capital. To find clients they gave ads in media. When those wanting to cash maternity capital came, they concluded with them fictitious agreements on interest-free loans, but in fact did not give any money. For their services the suspects charged between 60 and 120 thousand rubles per certificate. With the ready-made packet of documents the clients applied to the local office of the Pension Fund, where based on the forged documents received maternity capital. The money from Pension Fund was transferred for allegedly paying off the loans to the accounts of cooperatives Zhilsots-Proyekt, ZhilSotsProyekt, Doveriye, Kredit Doveriya, registered in Kabardino-Balkaria and North Ossetia-Alania,. Then the money went to the settlement accounts of the third persons, were cashed and returned to the client minus 60-120 thousand rubles. As a result the suspects by the suspects stole from the settlement accounts of the Russian Pension Fund for Kabardino-Balkaria and North Ossetia-Alania over 300 million of budgetary funds.

On one of these days the investigators are going to press charges against the suspects.

Activities are underway to gather and consolidate the evidence.
