In Krasnoyarsk, a woman who was employed by a local business is alleged to have stolen funds from her employer and then used part of the money to buy lottery tickets. The incident has sparked a police inquiry, with authorities outlining the sequence of events and the individuals involved.
The suspect, described as a woman with a prior conviction and born in 1959, worked as the victim’s assistant. It is reported that she accessed the employer’s bank account through a banking app on her own device, using login details provided by the employer for legitimate purposes. With access to the account, she transferred funds from the employer’s savings into her own personal account and proceeded to purchase basic necessities and food items, which accompanied the theft allegations.
In a troubling turn, the attacker then used a portion of the stolen funds to buy lottery tickets. The total amount related to the incident was noted as 19,000 rubles, and investigators say the suspect admitted an intention to increase the amount of stolen funds through further lottery purchases. Following her arrest, she requested to be released on her own recognizance and was subsequently taken into custody by law enforcement authorities.
As prosecutors prepare the case, the criminal matter centered on theft is expected to be scheduled for court proceedings in the near future. The investigation continues to determine the full extent of the unauthorized transactions and any other possible misuse of the employer’s financial resources.
Meanwhile, another unrelated report mentions a separate incident involving a lottery ticket with a value of A$1 million that was discarded by a former resident. The details of that event are not tied to the Krasnoyarsk case and appear to be part of broader discussions about lottery winnings and personal financial decisions.
