Couple steals 25 million in Russian bank heist

What are people capable of for love? Sometimes the most senseless things. A clear example is the Khairullins from Salavat, Bashkortostan. While the wife worked, the husband lost money on betting, took loans, and incurred debts. When the pressure was too much, the wife began stealing money from her workplace. In a short video, UFA1.RU compiled the story of the bold thefts and inevitable retribution.

Marat Khairullin started betting in the early 2010s, initially winning and even bringing money home. But later, he got sucked into it — he placed large bets but didn«t always win.

When creditors came, it became clear something had to be done. Instead of trying to negotiate, Marat persuaded his wife Luiza to steal money from the bank where she worked.

Thus, the gambling hobby took a criminal turn. When it became clear that the money manipulations were about to be discovered, the couple fled. In their haste, they didn«t even close the door of their apartment.

To learn about the rest of their life and whether the bank will recover the stolen 25 million rubles ($277,800), watch in the video above.
