A group of people suspected of stealing money in the interests of Ukraine detained in Dagestan
The FSB, together with the Ministry of Internal Affairs, detained five people in Dagestan who were suspected of involvement in the theft of money "in the interests of Ukrainian call centers."
 
According to the authorities, the detainees entered into IP telephony agreements with telecom operators and then provided access to the communication system to Ukrainian citizens.
 
"Fraudulent calls to Russian citizens were made from the specified numbers on behalf of Russian law enforcement agencies, special services, and credit and financial institutions," the report says.
 
According to the special services, "the preliminary damage from the said illegal activity is more than 100 million rubles, while its final amount may be significantly higher due to newly received information."
 
Law enforcement agencies are also checking the version of "the use of criminally obtained funds to finance the Armed Forces of Ukraine during the "special military operation.""
 
In addition, the FSB reported that “in various regions of the country, over 190 criminal cases have been opened on the basis of fraudulent actions using means of communication.”
