In Belarus, operatives from the Economic Crime Department of the Oktyabrsky District Police in Mogilev have uncovered a case involving the director of a Minsk firm who lost borrowed funds in an online casino.
The 41-year-old suspect allegedly borrowed money from acquaintances under the pretense of developing a business and supplying goods, with no intention of fulfilling his obligations.
The total amount of borrowed funds reached $19,500. The investigation has led to criminal charges of fraud, which could result in a prison sentence of up to 12 years for the suspect.
