On August 26, at 5:41 a.m., the Klaipėda County Police Department received a report from a woman, born in 1968. She alleged that between August 19 and 20, she was targeted in the Taikos pr. house in Klaipėda by individuals who spoke Russian.
According to the woman’s statement, these unknown parties persuaded her to transfer funds to an online investment platform, resulting in the alleged fraudulent extraction of 20,000 euros. The police have collected materials related to the reported fraud. The complaint details the alleged scheme, where the woman was convinced to participate in an investment opportunity that subsequently proved to be fraudulent.
The police report also referenced relevant Lithuanian legislation concerning financial misconduct. The Criminal Code specifies that any individual who fraudulently obtains another person’s property or property rights for personal or third-party benefit, or who evades or nullifies a property obligation, faces legal penalties. These penalties can include public service work or a fine, as well as imprisonment or deprivation of liberty, with a maximum term of up to three years.
The filing of this report initiates an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the loss of the euros and the operation of the purported investment platform. Authorities are currently reviewing the collected evidence to determine the next steps in the investigation into the alleged financial crime.
