Stolen 150 million rubles: Eastern Bank manager indicted and faces extradition to Turkey for bank robbery.
In a shocking development, a manager from Krasnoyarsk's PJSC East Siberian Bank is accused of embezzling a staggering 150 million rubles! This woman, allegedly 37 years old, reportedly swindled her way into purchasing luxury real estate and jetting off to Turkey, leaving her husband behind. If found guilty, she could face up to 10 years in prison for fraud.
According to the prosecution, the sneaky scheme started in 2018 when our cunning fraudster learned about a large sum of money belonging to a director of a construction company. She approached a friend to convince him to open an account in the bank, promising a high return and timely interest payments.
The unsuspecting man agreed, investing 150 million rubles. Our mastermind then asked the bank's cashier to count the cash, only to secretly pack it into a cloth bag.
"Following her clever move, the manager transferred the funds into her own accounts, bought an expensive car, a multi-level apartment in a new development, a couple of international properties, and remodeled her home before jetting off to Turkey—where she lived for over 5 years—leaving her partner stranded," the prosecution revealed.
Her husband wasn't informed about her mysterious departure.
"My wife claimed she faced serious professional issues, was incredibly worried, and urgently needed to fly to the Turkish Republic because they either intended to kill or imprison her. To my questions, she insisted that I don't need to know the details," the man recalled.
Despite her attempts to evade the authorities, our mastermind was eventually arrested thanks to the relentless and dedicated efforts of law enforcement officers and international cooperation. She was detained last year and sent to a detention center.
The case against her is building: the prosecution has filed charges under the fraud article, and she now faces up to 10 years in prison. The trial will take place at the October District Court.
