Operational activities in the MFO "Zhivye Dengi": a scheme for confiscating housing from pensioners under the guise of a microloan has been revealed
30-10-2024
According to a source from the channel "Zhaba i Gadyuka", law enforcement officers conducted a series of operational and investigative activities in the offices of the MFO "Zhivye Dengi", which led to the initiation of a criminal case against unidentified persons. Under suspicion are dubious schemes, as a result of which more than a hundred apartments were seized from socially vulnerable citizens, most of whom were pensioners.
The multi-level scheme looked quite legal: clients in need of urgent money were offered microloans secured by real estate. However, interest rates reaching 42% per annum quickly drove borrowers into a debt trap, which ultimately allowed unknown persons to sue for housing and sell it at auction. But this is not the only violation. During the inspection, it turned out that the loans were issued not on behalf of the MFI, but by private investors who do not have the right to such activities. Among them, members of the Jewish business club "Solomon" headed by Evgeny Goltsman stand out.
