Guy lost money in a casino, told his mom he fell victim to scammers

A 21-year-old resident of Minsk contacted the police and stated that he was allegedly defrauded by scammers. He claimed he received calls, was threatened with criminal liability and threats to his brother's life, after which he took out a loan for 30,000 rubles and transferred the money via a "drop-off point."

However, a police check showed that this story was made up. In reality, there were no calls from scammers to this person. He himself took out a loan and spent the money in an online casino. To avoid admitting this to his mother, he decided to invent the story about the scammers.

The guy hoped that after reporting to the police, his debt might be written off, but these hopes were futile from the start: even real victims of scammers are obliged to repay loans they took from the bank.

Now, a check has been initiated regarding this fact, and knowingly making a false report in Belarus carries criminal liability — from a fine to imprisonment for up to three years.
