After hiding information about the child's death, she continued to receive social benefits. For five years, the woman embezzled about 1.4 million rubles. Another fact revealed by the investigators: from April 2019 to August 2023, the suspect paid a bribe of 95 thousand rubles to an employee of the guardianship authorities so that he would ignore information about the violation of the rights of minors in her care. The director of the investigation of the investigative committee of the Russian Federation for the Saratov region emphasized that the recipient of the bribe from the guardianship authorities has already been convicted and sentenced to a real prison term.

The case materials have now been sent to the court for review.
