At the beginning of the meeting, Alexander Efimovich, speaking about the goals of the event, noted:
"I'd like to answer your questions today and warn you against even the slightest step that could harm you and your loved ones. We're seeing a lot of text messages these days, offering various ways to make money, and committing a huge number of crimes related to fraud, drug trafficking, and so on. As a result, people are getting drawn into gang crimes, which can lead to certain consequences. I urge you to be responsible, mindful, and cautious about your actions."
New fraud methods emerge weekly, including those using new technologies such as artificial intelligence and neural networks. These days, these include not only financial pyramids and banking, but also medical centers. However, our country has the necessary legal framework to prevent such acts and establish fair punishments.
In recent years, the age of criminal responsibility for certain extremist and terrorist crimes has been lowered. Asked about the purpose of these changes, Alexander Buchman explained:
The purpose of introducing criminal liability and additional criminal statutes is to prevent young people from feeling they have impunity. It's also a form of prevention, so that everyone understands that if they commit any act, it will be a criminal offense and they won't be released. Then, accordingly, it will act as a deterrent and stop young people from committing crimes.
Giving advice on what to do if you receive offers from suspicious accounts, the regional prosecutor emphasized the need to immediately block them and contact the police or the duty unit. Furthermore, the "Youth Cyber Squad" movement operates in the Novosibirsk Region, where you can also report fraud.
Alexander Buchman eagerly answered students' questions about his work. He chose his career path in his second year of law school, when he interned at the transport prosecutor's office. He enjoyed the work and decided to pursue a career in the prosecutor's office. When asked what it takes to achieve greatness in his career, he emphasized the importance of loving your job, working hard, and embracing opportunities that arise along the way.
