In Moscow, three individuals have been arrested in connection with a case involving the illegal transfer of over 30 billion rubles abroad via the Qiwi payment system. This development was reported by “Kommersant” on Thursday, June 25th.
The individuals taken into custody are Grigory Kisilgof and Denis Li, leaders and owners of the “Interkom” group of companies, as well as Alexander Mikhaylchuk, who is associated with the terminal business and dealer services for mobile operators.
According to the investigation, between 2022 and 2023, tens of thousands of electronic wallets were created under fictitious names using stolen personal data, through organizations controlled by the suspects. These accounts were utilized for illegal transfers and transactions within the shadow economy, including online casinos, bookmakers, and drug trafficking. Operational activities were conducted by officers from the Main Directorate for Economic Security and Anti-Corruption of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation. Documents and electronic media confirming the detainees’ involvement were seized during searches, according to the report.
Law enforcement officers from the Kamchatka Territory have detained a 44-year-old owner of an online drug shop residing in Balashikha. The man reportedly laundered over 100 million rubles from his illicit activities.
