A Russian woman stole payments from a soldier who died in the Northern Military District

A criminal case has been opened in the Tula region under an article about the theft of money from the account of a soldier who fell during a special military operation (SVO). The Ministry of Internal Affairs of Media reports this in its Telegram channel.

According to investigators, the scam came to light after the sister of the deceased began to formalize the inheritance and found out that several large sums had disappeared from his bank card. The total amount of stolen goods amounted to 1.3 million rubles.

It turned out that the fighter, before leaving for the combat zone, gave the suspect access to his account because he had a trusting relationship with her. Having learned that the man had fallen, she used the details and from October 2024 to March 2025 regularly withdrew money, spending it on herself.

The defendant is under recognizance not to leave. The police are establishing all the circumstances and taking measures to compensate for the damage.
