The Vilnius County Police Department reported two separate instances of alleged financial fraud involving residents of Vilnius. On July 27, the department received complaints detailing scams perpetrated by individuals posing as financial experts. One complainant, a woman born in 1971, reported that between June 12 and July 19, she was contacted at her home in Vilnius by unfamiliar Russian-speaking individuals.
These parties allegedly misled her, resulting in the withdrawal of 56,484 euros. Later the same day, another individual, a man born in 1967, contacted the Vilnius County Police Department. He claimed that he was also targeted in Vilnius at his residence by unknown persons who misrepresented themselves as financial advisors.
This deception allegedly caused him to withdraw a sum of 6,150 euros. In response to these reports, an ongoing pre-trial investigation into the matter of fraud has been initiated by authorities. Furthermore, a separate case concerning the seizing of sea containers has also been submitted to the court.
The investigation aims to determine the full scope of the alleged fraudulent activities and identify those responsible for the financial losses sustained by the complainants in the Vilnius area.
