In Ulyanovsk, employees of the Investigative Committee and the Ministry of the Interior, with the support of the Russian National Guard, stopped the activities of a group of seven women who had been involved in illegal cash withdrawals for almost five years. Through controlled companies and individual entrepreneurs, they turned ordinary checking accounts into illegal cash registers for customers. From January 2022 to September 2026, women made payments without a banking license, issued fictitious payment orders, transferred money between accounts, and then withdrew cash and transferred it to customers. For the service we charge a commission of at least 10% of each amount. The total income from this illegal activity exceeded 188 million rubles. Companies that officially traded in building materials and furniture were used as cover. On paper it's a normal business, in fact it's a platform for extorting other people's money. A criminal case was opened on the facts of illegal banking activity carried out by an organized group with the production of income on a particularly large scale, and illegal distribution of means of payment.
