The Interior Ministry reported the detention of a group of residents of the Vitebsk region who assisted fraudsters in withdrawing stolen funds.
According to police, eight people aged between 22 and 37, known as “drop guides,” were detained.
Police believe they sought out people leading an antisocial lifestyle and had payment cards issued in their names at foreign banks. The cards were then sold to “criminals from a neighboring country.” The accounts were used to withdraw stolen funds.
The suspects’ income is estimated at no less than 200,000 rubles.
