The chief manager-operator gained the trust of the 89-year-old woman and convinced the latter to issue a power of attorney to her. This step allowed the bank employee to freely manage the client's funds.

The 34-year-old suspect took advantage of the fact that she had promised the deceived woman to open deposits for her at more favorable interest rates. However, in fact, she did not fulfill her promises and appropriated the client's funds for herself.

The amount by which the employee deceived her client is estimated at 4.7 million rubles.
