A.S. committed fraud in particularly large amount as a group member, swindling 22 million 36 thousand AMD and property from 30 people.

Particularly, A.S. on behalf of a number of offices founded by him, but without state registration, pretending to be credit organizations, distributed announcements about providing loans on favorable terms through paid targeted advertisements on pages registered on the Facebook social network․

The members of the criminal group invited people, who had applied to them and had expressed a desire to receive loans based on the aforementioned announcements, to the offices of an intermediary organization that allegedly provided loans and told them that, for a 30-35 percent commission, they could organize the direct or indirect receipt of loan amounts in their name from various banks and credit organizations.

Then, the members of the criminal group accompanied the aforementioned citizens to various banks, credit and commercial organizations, where they took the loan funds, goods or receipts for them,  presenting by cheating that it was necessary to make final settlements, sell the purchased goods, calculate the amount of commissions, after which they would provide the promised funds in full, but they did not provide them and stole them.

A.S. and the other members of the group also used other methods of deception in the course of carrying out their criminal intent. In particular, they found out the personal data of the citizens who had applied to them and registered accounts in their names in the payment system, through which they received loan funds online from the credit company. However, abusing the citizens' trust, they did not provide them with the funds, but, having access to the registered accounts, cashed them out and stole them.

In addition, the members of the criminal group accompanied the individuals who had contacted them to various branches of the bank, fraudulently obtained the bank's mobile application login details from the clients, through which they transferred the loan amounts received online to other individuals' accounts and later stole them by cashing them out.

Besides, A.S. and A.B. rented 2 office spaces with property in them, allegedly to operate a call center for a credit organization. After the lease period of the office spaces had expired, the owners discovered that the tenants had stolen the office property.

Public criminal prosecution was initiated against A.S. according to the Point 3 of the Part 3 of the Article 255 and the Point 1 of the Part 2 of the Article 256 of RA Criminal Group.

The criminal proceeding with the bill of indictment was sent to the prosecutor for approval and referal to court.
