Uncovered in Belarus: Illicit Car Sales Operation

In the city of Pinsk, Belarus, a fraudulent scheme involving the sale of passenger vehicles has come to light. The scheme, which has resulted in substantial financial losses for several residents, is currently under investigation by law enforcement officers in the Brest region.

According to reports, the fraudulent scheme was orchestrated by a company based in Pinsk last year. This company offered intermediary services for purchasing cars from China. However, instead of using the funds from clients for delivering the vehicles, the money was allegedly used for attracting new clients, paying for services, salaries, and personal expenses.

One of the victims of this scheme is a resident of Minsk, who lost over 70,000 rubles after making a full prepayment for a car delivery. Another local resident reported a loss of over 50,000 rubles due to the same fraudulent scheme. Both victims have filed police reports regarding the incident.

The journalist reporting on this matter is Maxim Beloreckii. The scheme was initially reported to the Pinsk City Department of Internal Affairs by the local resident who was defrauded out of over 50,000 rubles.

The actions of the company's founders, a 53-year-old native of Shchuchin and a 34-year-old native of Lida, are currently being assessed by investigators. As a result, a criminal case for fraud has been initiated, and the investigation is ongoing.

At this time, there is no verified information available about the suspects or the current status of the investigation in Pinsk, Belarus. The authorities have not released any updates regarding the progress of the case or any potential arrests.

This incident serves as a reminder for consumers to exercise caution when making large financial transactions, especially when dealing with unfamiliar companies or individuals. It is always advisable to verify the legitimacy of a business before entrusting them with your hard-earned money.

As the investigation continues, we will keep you updated on any new developments in this case.
