Fraudsters "divorced" Tedesco by 250 thousand rubles
Last week was extremely unsuccessful for the head coach of the Moscow Spartak Domenico Tedesco. After a protracted losing streak, the red-and-white fell to 11th place in the RPL standings, and the mentor in the match against Lokomotiv earned disqualification before the end of the championship and a fine of 500 thousand rubles. In addition, a German specialist became a victim of scammers.
Two days before the game with Sochi, which Tedesco was watching from the rostrum, he received a message from an unfamiliar number on his phone. On the profile picture, however, there was a photo of one of the club staff, so the 34-year-old German did not notice the catch.
The interlocutor asked Tedesco to urgently transfer him to the card 250 thousand rubles, allegedly for the treatment of a relative. The trusting coach quickly made the transaction, although the Spartak employee, whose name the unknown fraudster introduced himself, was practically in the next room of the hotel.
The deception revealed itself pretty soon. As it turned out, the number from which Tedesco wrote was registered to a certain Oksana Tsoev from North Ossetia. Now the case is being handled by the security service of Spartak. Also filed a police report. The new general director of the team, Shamil Gazizov, promised to deal with the unpleasant situation in accordance with Russian legislation.

One of the leading taxi booking services wanted to reward the novice athlete with the right of life-long travel without payment. Popov thanked for the generous offer, but found it necessary to refuse. He decided to transfer the money that the company could spend on transporting the goalkeeper to children with cancer, which the Khabensky Foundation helps.
“I’ll still earn my own, but there are those who need help right now,” Popov emphasized.
Subscribers appreciated Denis's action, showering him with compliments in the comments. One of the fans wished the player “not to turn into Kokorin” and successfully pass the test of attention, fame and money. Popov answered some comments personally.
As it turned out, his game made a huge impression on Rostov taxi drivers. One of them even wanted to put a photograph of Popov on his car. The goalkeeper later signed a soccer ball for the driver.
