Belarusian Man Faces 12 Years for Girlfriend's Car Leasing Scam

Mazyr Man Detained for Car Leasing Fraud A 41-year-old unemployed man from Mazyr, Belarus, is facing up to 12 years in prison after being detained for deceiving his girlfriend in a car leasing scheme. The Ministry of Internal Affairs (MVD) reported that the man convinced his 42-year-old girlfriend to lease a car in her name, promising to make the payments. However, he failed to do so, resulting in significant debt. After the woman had signed the leasing agreement, the man promptly left for a neighboring country. "The woman initially made payments herself," stated an MVD spokesperson, "but eventually, substantial debts accumulated." The car has been seized, and the total amount of damage is estimated at almost 45,000 Belarusian rubles. The man's actions underscore the importance of carefully reviewing financial agreements before signing them. The case serves as a reminder of the potential consequences of financial fraud. The investigation is ongoing.
