On July 17, two separate incidents involving alleged financial fraud were reported to local police departments. The cases involve accusations of theft perpetrated by individuals posing as financial advisors. A woman, born in 1966, contacted the Kaunas City Police Department (Dainavos PK) via the Telegram messaging application.
She reported that on June 10, she was approached at her residence by an unknown individual who spoke Russian. This person allegedly misrepresented themselves as an investment consultant and subsequently stole an amount totaling 28,750 euros through deceptive means. On the same day, a separate report was filed with the Vilnius County Police Department (VPK) by a man born in 1965.
He contacted authorities through Telegram, claiming that over a period spanning from December 12, 2025, to July 15, 2026, he received calls from an unidentified person speaking Russian. This caller allegedly posed as an investment manager, resulting in the theft of 21,920 euros. Both incidents prompted the opening of preliminary investigations.
The police departments confirmed that both cases are being investigated under Article 182, Paragraph 2, of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. The reports highlight instances of alleged fraud targeting residents in both the Kaunas and Vilnius areas. Authorities are currently reviewing the details provided by both complainants.
