81-year-old pensioner forced to participate in a special operation
The woman received a call from fake law enforcement officers who informed her about an illegal withdrawal of money from her account, according to "Minsk Police".
Following instructions, the pensioner participated in a "special operation": she withdrew money from her account, collected all the cash she had at home, and handed about 24,000 rubles to a courier.
The woman was promised that all funds would be returned to her after the criminals were apprehended.
Detectives from the Frunzensky District Department of Internal Affairs identified and detained the courier — a 50-year-old resident of the Minsk region, who had previously himself become a victim of fraudsters using the "Vodokanal" (Water Utility) scheme and, as part of a "special operation," took the money from the victim.
