A fraudster was convicted in Novosibirsk for selling cars through "closed auctions".
The Kalininsky District Court in Novosibirsk sentenced Anastasia Biryukova to 8 years and 8 months in prison for fraud in the amount of 16 million rubles. Between 2021 and 2024, she offered cars at discounted prices from auctions allegedly closed by the court service, receiving payment in advance and using the money as she saw fit.
Biryukova was convicted of six counts of fraud. A sentence was partially added to a previous sentence from 2026. This is not the first case against Biryukova: in March and August 2026, the court already sentenced convictions for similar offenses.
