The cyberpolice exposed three Kharkiv citizens in carrying out illegal operations using Russian payment systems used in illegal activities and money laundering.
"Men converted electronic money using payment systems prohibited for use in Ukraine. Clients transferred the national currency to attackers, after which they received the equivalent in rubles to the electronic wallet of the Russian payment system," law enforcement officials said.
So, cyber police officers in the Kharkiv region found that the defendants on Ukrainian Internet sites posted ads on the provision of money conversion services and financial transactions using Russian payment systems banned in Ukraine. Customers contacted by ads.
The indicated electronic payment systems are used in unlawful activities and “laundering” of money obtained by criminal means, due to the inability to track their origin by law enforcement agencies, the cyber police said.
Law enforcers conducted searches at the place of residence of suspected men. According to the results, computer equipment, mobile communication terminals and payment cards were seized. During the preliminary inspection of the equipment, information was found confirming the criminal activity of the defendants, noted in the cyber police.
On this fact, criminal proceedings have been opened under Part 1 of Art. 200 (Illegal actions with documents for transfer, payment cards and other means of access to bank accounts, electronic money, equipment for their manufacture) of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. Now the issue of declaring suspicion to men is being decided.
