The key facts

  • Six accounts of Irina Usoltseva, blocked in April over a debt of 6,700 rubles, have been unblocked
  • A profile in the MAX messenger was registered using her phone number
  • The Usoltsev family went missing in September 2025; the investigation considers an accident the most likely version

Accounts unblocked after debt was paid off

The accounts of Irina Usoltseva, who went missing along with her family, have suddenly turned out to be unblocked. This was reported by krsk.aif.ru. Back in April, six of her accounts were blocked over a tax debt of 6,700 rubles, and now they have been unblocked — meaning someone paid off the debt. At the same time, a profile in the MAX messenger was registered using the woman's phone number, and the accounts remain linked to that number. The outlet suggests that unknown individuals may have paid off the debt precisely in order to gain access to the money in the accounts.

What is known about the family's disappearance

Sergey and Irina Usoltsev and their five-year-old daughter went missing in the Kuturchinskoye Belogorye area in September 2025. Volunteers and police officers carried out extensive searches, but no trace of the missing family was found. The investigation allowed for the possibility of a quarrel between the Usoltsevs; an accident was named as the most likely version of the family's disappearance, but a crime cannot be completely ruled out. At the same time, as Gazeta.Runotes, Irina owned nothing — she had only a residence registration in a 'half-collapsed barracks'.

Why the new detail matters

The unblocking of the accounts is the first confirmed change in the situation after many months in which the searches yielded no results: since April the accounts had been blocked, and now the debt has been paid off and a new messenger profile has been linked to the number. This means that after the woman's disappearance, someone acted on her behalf in financial and digital services. Who exactly paid off the debt and gained access is not reported in the publications — this detail remains unknown.
