A case has been opened against a blogger who collected money for an allegedly needy pensioner in St. Petersburg, said the head of the press service of the city's main investigative directorate, Glushchenko.
According to the investigators, in September of this year the man organized a collection of money to allegedly help purchase a separate house for an elderly woman. In the video, he created a false representation of meeting her by chance, and hid the fact of his relationship. Citizens gave him over 750 thousand rubles.
