A criminal case for commercial espionage has been initiated in Grodno, this is a rather rare type of crime in our country. A 31-year-old resident of Brest is under suspicion. The man previously worked in a bank, which collaborated with a company that arranged presentations of dishes, blankets and other products, which can be purchased at the exhibition. As a rule, such a product is not cheap, and buyers take loans on the spot. After the dismissal, the defendant was left with the login and password from the workplace. Thus, he was able to download the data of the debtors, having illegally seized information about 200 debtors. Then the man decided to sell the information to interested people.
Margarita Govrova, employee of the information and public relations department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Belarus: "An employee of a company protecting the rights of consumers was found to play the role of a consumer himself. Obviously, at such scams, purchases are made on emotions, and after a while the debtors go to court. The fraud intended to sell information about potential customers for 4 000 dollars. A criminal case has been initiated for commercial espionage."
