In Volgograd, passions around a dubious investment company, in which hundreds of residents of the region have invested millions of rubles. People say they gave their savings to two ladies in expensive fur coats. Fashionable blondes with puffed up lips promised clients a rich life, but, according to the police, they spent money exclusively on themselves, their loved ones.
In the spacious kitchen, Irina Voskobaeva, a resident of Volgograd, treats our film crew to tea. The woman cuts the pie and complains that her family’s life has also fallen apart into pieces. It all happened after a meeting with fashionable ladies from a financial company. Irina gave them 8 million rubles. In return, they promised fabulous enrichment.
Irina receives dozens of messages from banks every day, the mailbox is full of pre-trial claims. To pay off giant loans, she, an accountant, and her husband, an auto mechanic, need to pay 200 thousand rubles a month. The family doesn’t have that kind of money. Therefore, soon the Voskobaevs, it seems, will have to part with their only apartment.
“A good profitable offer has come … Like, go to the bank. A car, a driver, were issued, and we were taken to all banks. We traveled to 15 banks, all of which we met along the way. He stopped and said:” Go. And they, the drivers, and themselves, and wives, and mothers,” said Irina Voskobaeva.
People lined up in front of the office of an office called DepositCapital. He worked on the principle – the more money you bring, the more you get later! The faces of the company were two glamorous blondes – Elena Koroleva and Valentina Bogdanova. Here, on the footage of amateur shooting, they are trying to calm the indignant people in fashionable fur coats. Clients of the firm complain that they gave them millions, but did not receive a penny in return.
– They came up with a legend that I allegedly went to Moscow for money. I have not been to any Moscow. I was in Rostov, with my man, whom I meet.
The financial pyramid lived for a couple of years. And then suddenly collapsed – according to all the laws of financial fraud. Now the iron door of the office is tightly closed, the sign rests on parole. But investors continue to come to the company’s office and share sad stories of imaginary enrichment.
“When I came in, they told me – everything is fine, they will pay for you, calm down. The main thing is not to go anywhere, everything will be fine, wait a little more, everything will be fine. But there was nothing beautiful,” said Evgeny Feklistov.
– Well, of course, you were fooled like suckers.
– My husband and I have seven million. Every day there is a fine. My husband has already packed the bag. He was about to go to jail.
Depositors have already written three hundred statements to the police. According to the security forces, more than a thousand people could have suffered from swindlers-creditors. The damage may reach a billion rubles. Twelve investigators are involved in the case.
“In the course of the ORM, the defendants in the criminal case, knowing that a procedural check was being carried out against them, attempted to escape and were detained by operational officers at the airport in the city of Volgograd,” said Aleksey Zhivoderov, investigator for especially important cases of department No. in the Volgograd region.
This is how the police detained glamorous businesswomen. They were caught at the airport, at the check-in desk. Judging by the bright makeup and expensive outfits, Elena Koroleva and Valentina Bogdanova were preparing for a completely different meeting. Fashionable ladies were indignant because of the sudden change of a comfortable seat in business class to the seat of a patrol car.
The detained blondes tried not to lose their composure. They proudly walked around the terminal, accompanied by operatives, and then got into a police car. Apparently, they did not realize that their luxurious life was nearing its end. We asked the stylist to evaluate the image of glamorous financiers. The fashionable verdict was peremptory.
“First of all, of course, a fur coat catches our eye. A fur coat made of natural fur. This is not very relevant now, but, nevertheless, for many it is still an indicator of status, an indicator of wealth. And, if we are talking about a fur coat made of lynx fur, then its cost can reach several million rubles.Ankle boots with the logo of a well-known brand of the luxury segment.This is again about money, about wealth, about “I can afford it.” In general, the whole image somehow says: Look, I have there is money. This is the general message of everything in general! “, – says Maria Lukina, stylist.
But where are the remnants of the former luxury? Did everything go to fur coats and silicone? Investigators searched the apartments of the suspects and found a black book with a detailed description of all financial transactions.
It is curious that both ladies lived in the same elite house in a prestigious area of Volgograd. But they did not become cellmates. One moved to the isolation ward, the second to a hospital bed.
“Koroleva herself did not appear at this meeting, she presented a certificate that she was being treated at a medical institution. With what disease, this certificate did not indicate,” Ruslan Rustamov, the lawyer for the victims, explained.
According to lawyers, the detained blondes deliberately delay the case. But the victims should not hesitate. Banks don’t care where the borrowers spent the money and why they can’t pay it back.
The most surprising thing about this business is that savers run the risk of never seeing their savings. The contract with the financial company was drawn up very cunningly. According to the papers, it was an ordinary loan, but without a repayment period. That is, people seemed to lend money to glamorous businesswomen, and those, like true blondes, forgot to say when they would return it.
Irina Voskobaeva, like hundreds of other investors, seems to have only now realized what a large-scale scam she fell into and how she could take the word of a glamorous businesswoman.
– Well, just Barbie dolls, all inflated, well, just everything. They didn’t seem very smart to me…
