The Spanish police detained a Russian woman who is wanted in Russia on suspicion of fraud for € 1.4 million, writes ABC.
According to the publication, the suspect in 2011, as an individual entrepreneur, entered into an agreement in Russia with an insurance company, according to which she was supposed to insure individuals and legal entities. Within three years after that, she signed 42,243 contracts. Of the €1.4 million she received, she was only entitled to a commission of €160,000, and she had to transfer all the rest of the money to the insurance company, but did not.
