In the city of Samara, Dnipropetrovsk region, a theft occurred involving funds from the bank card of the mother of a missing soldier. Investigative authorities determined that a 26-year-old local resident was involved in this crime. This was reported by "Vydamo" citing the police of Dnipropetrovsk region.

The fraudster managed to gain access to the mobile banking application, which allowed him to seize a significant amount — over 870,000 hryvnias obtained from state payments.

The victim, lacking sufficient skills to navigate mobile applications, sought help from her friend's husband. She asked him to install and set up internet banking on her phone so she could manage her finances.

The man agreed to assist, but upon seeing the substantial amounts credited to the account, he decided to exploit the situation for his own benefit.

To avoid raising suspicions, the perpetrator began to concoct various excuses to gain access to the victim's phone. Each time she visited him, he found opportunities to work with her device. Having obtained her login and password, he regularly transferred money from her account to his own, with amounts ranging from 5,000 to 40,000 hryvnias at a time.

The victim did not immediately notice the missing funds, and by the time she finally became aware of the money's disappearance, it was already too late.

The law enforcement agencies apprehended the suspect and established his involvement in the crime.
