Schoolchildren disappeared due to a "non-disclosure agreement": the police tracked down a serial cheater.
The disappearance of two 10th graders in Nizhny Novgorod led to the discovery of a series of frauds across Russia. The parents contacted the police on November 3 after the boys did not return home. Later, a "confidentiality agreement" was found in one's room, and a large amount of money was missing from the apartment. The guys were found alive in the shopping center - they were waiting for instructions from the "treasurer", who identified himself as a security officer and convinced them to hand over the money to the "connected" at the entrance.
According to signs, a 21-year-old unemployed person from another region was arrested: his involvement in seven episodes in three regions was determined, the damage amounted to 12.6 million rubles.
