Tengrinews.kz - Deceived pensioners gave scammers from 900,000 to 5.5 million tenge, according to the press service of the Supreme Court.
"The specialized interdistrict criminal court of the North Kazakhstan region has considered a criminal case against a defendant charged with repeatedly aiding in the commission of fraud and illegal possession for the purpose of distributing psychotropic substances," the court's message states.
The court found that elderly victims received calls from individuals pretending to be police officers, informing them that their relatives were involved in a car accident. They offered the pensioners to "save" their loved ones from criminal liability. Consequently, the victims handed over large sums of money, ranging from 900,000 tenge to 5.5 million tenge.
The defendant received this money from the frightened individuals, kept a portion for himself, and transferred the rest to "other persons."
He was also found to have 193 grams of a psychotropic substance, which is considered a particularly large amount.
The young man admitted his guilt in court.
The court found him guilty of "repeatedly aiding in fraud committed through deception by a group of individuals acting in collusion on a large scale," as well as "illegal possession for the purpose of distributing psychotropic substances, committed by a group of individuals acting in collusion."
For the first crime, the young man was sentenced to 4 years in prison, and for the second, to 7 years and 5 months. The longer sentence absorbed the shorter one, resulting in a final punishment of 7 years and 5 months in prison.
The sentence has not yet come into legal force.
Earlier, a convict in Ust-Kamenogorsk has been sentenced for fraud, after managing to scam a businessman out of 50 million tenge while serving time in prison.
