Chronopay founder Pavel Vrublevsky was detained in a fraud case

[Friend]

The damage manifested itself by the end of the investigation.

The Khamovnichesky Court of the capital began consideration of the case of Pavel Vrublevsky, the founder of the ChloroPay payment system, who at one time was called one of the most dangerous Russian hackers by the US intelligence services. Mr. Vrublevsky, who appears in the investigation as the head of the Chronopay Vostok company, is accused of major fraud, money laundering, as well as the use of forged electronic documents when making money transfers. According to the investigation, the total damage from these frauds exceeded 425.5 million rubles, and, according to Kommersant, almost all of this amount relates to one episode related to money transfers, which appeared at the final stage of the investigation.

The Khamovnichesky Court began consideration on the merits of the case of the general director of the company "Chronopay Vostok" Pavel Vrublevsky and its employees Alexei Belyaev, Nadezhda Akimova and Matvey Vedyashkin. Another defendant, programmer Dmitry Somov, pleaded guilty during the investigation, and then entered into a pre-trial cooperation agreement. His case was separated into a separate proceeding.

However, it has not yet come to the announcement of the indictment at the trial: two sessions have already been postponed for various reasons, the last time due to the fact that Ms. Akimova has a new lawyer who needs time to familiarize himself with the materials.

According to Kommersant's sources, over a year and a half of investigation (the case was conducted by the Investigative Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs), the plot of the case has changed significantly, and the most serious adjustments were made at the final stage.

Initially, in March 2022, as Kommersant said earlier, there was one episode in the case, and now there are three, and Mr. Vrublevsky is accused not only of major fraud (Part 4 of Article 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation), but also of money laundering (Article 174.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation) and the manufacture and use of fake orders when transferring funds (Article 187 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation).

According to the investigation, Pavel Vrublevsky, who headed Chronopay Vostok LLC from May 2016 until his arrest, was the organizer of all crimes, and the rest of the defendants, voluntarily joining the criminal group he created, followed the instructions of their boss. The LLC, registered in Moscow at 12 Bolshoy Savinsky Lane, was officially engaged in the creation of databases and the use of information resources, software, and also advised its clients on working with these products.

As follows from the case materials, "no later than April 25, 2019," Mr. Vrublevsky developed a plan to steal funds from the accounts of individuals using the Internet and their further legalization. Two types of sites were to become the main tool for theft. The former imitated the conduct of real financial and economic activities and were supposed to be used to steal from cards during transactions for the purchase of goods, the latter, according to the investigation, posted knowingly false information about the possibility of their visitors receiving various "significant property benefits" or large cash prizes in exchange for performing certain operations. As a result, they led to the illegal write-off of funds from bank cards. The criminal scheme, according to the case, was integrated into the Chronopay software, and the defendants selected the funds for the withdrawal of funds "technical" companies controlled by them.

In the criminal group, according to the investigation, Mr. Vrublevsky developed tactics and strategies of activity, distributed responsibilities among the rest of its participants, etc.

Alexey Belyaev was engaged in the preparation of documents for opening accounts of controlled companies, obtaining electronic keys to access them from the nominal founders of these firms. Dmitry Somov, according to the case materials, controlled the operation of the software and was responsible for the continuity of financial transactions, Matvey Vedyashkin created websites, and Nadezhda Akimova looked for new controlled companies and prepared tax reports for them. At the same time, for the purpose of conspiracy, the members of the group communicated with each other through messengers, the case notes.

At the same time, it is worth noting that only one "technical" company appears in the case - Moscow-based Vangood LLC and one fraudulent site - king-donate.com. At the first stage of fraud - from April to December 2019, according to the case, Vangood opened accounts in MTS Bank, Otkritie and Promsvyazbank, and also received virtual terminals in Uralsib and Round banks with the possibility of Internet acquiring. The general director of the company, unaware, according to the investigation, of the criminal intentions of the group members, handed them electronic access keys, logins and USB drives with an electronic signature. At the same time, Mr. Vedyashkin created a website with the domain name king-donate.com, starting to promote it, and the programmer Somov connected all the disparate elements of the scheme to the Chronopea Vostok software.

The structure built by Mr. Vrublevsky, according to the investigation, made it possible not only to write off money from the card of a site visitor, but also sent a deliberately false electronic message to the issuing bank that the transaction was a legitimate financial transaction.

After that, the debited money under the guise of payment for various goods and services was transferred to the accounts of firms controlled by the organizer of the scam.

The criminal scheme began to work, according to the investigation, on December 25, 2019, and the first victim was a resident of Veliky Ustyug, who, after entering the king-donate.com, was illegally debited from the card 33.4 thousand rubles In total, the investigation managed to identify 36 victims, from whom 534.9 thousand rubles were illegally debited from the cards.

But the largest episode of the case is not related to Internet fraud, which at one time became the basis for the arrest of the defendants, and it appeared in the case, according to Kommersant, only a few weeks before the completion of the investigation.

The police investigation concluded that almost all financial transactions that took place through the current accounts of Wanguda in the period from November 26, 2019 to November 27, 2020, were illegal. The recipients of money for these transfers were dozens of companies, including Chronopay Vostok, and dozens of individuals and individual entrepreneurs. The investigation classified these entries as transactions performed using fake electronic orders for the purpose of illegal cashing out of funds. The damage for this episode alone amounted to 424.2 million rubles.

Pavel Vrublevsky does not admit guilt, his lawyer Alexander Inoyadov told Kommersant. The lawyer also believes that The police investigation committed numerous violations during the investigation. In particular, Mr. Inoyadov noted that "in violation of the requirements of the Criminal Procedure Code" the case materials did not indicate "the circumstances of involvement in the legal economic turnover" of the stolen funds, to which person or persons they were received. Also, according to the lawyer, the examination carried out as part of the investigation confirmed that some of the victims did not deduct money from their cards at all.

These and other circumstances, the lawyer claims, "indicate the need to return the case for further investigation", which will be demanded by the defense at the next court hearing on November 3.

**********

Finally got to court, the first step is already good. However, the trial was not very long. 10 minutes, because one of the parties changed lawyers. The next hearing is on November 3rd.

I think it was at 11 a.m. As this time, I will be very happy to see everyone. When you ride a lot in paddy wagons, of course, you also make new acquaintances.
So my new friend shared a tangerine, tea, coffee and sweets with Lefortovo.
That's right... cute. Hmm.

The information about my case, in the publication of Kommersant, is generally correct, but sins with inaccuracies. Article 187 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation does not imply damage as such at all. The damage in the case was and remains 530 thousand rubles for 37 victims, of which, according to the expertise of the Ministry of Internal Affairs themselves, the money was not written off at all. 187 is such an incredible language written law, that it is not surprising that he is not understood, perhaps, that no one, and not a single media and Telegram channel has yet figured out that when the defendants under this article are indicated any amount, that 700 US dollars, that 420 million, that trillion, and I have seen this, this has nothing to do with the concept of "damage", which is what some unscrupulous employees of the authorities use in search of cheap popularity among the people, inflating the numbers for the media and exclusively for the media! Translated into Russian, 187 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation is a forgery of electronic documents, for example, "payment orders". The amount for which the document is forged can be any, here is the punishment for the very fact of forgery. In our case, it is something like imputing possession of two PM cartridges, initially announcing the investigation of genocide and a tactical nuclear strike. However, in this case, not only are the cartridges not mine, but there is a special plenum of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation that everything is legal!

******

I went to the court, I think, to take a ride. The whole meeting was reduced to the election of the guard for half a year and postponed immediately to November 22 at
16:00. That is, most likely, little can be heard on the 22nd. Honestly? Of course, I was upset. I had prepared a wonderful impromptu, I was going to cheer myself up for myself and the court and the "investigation". Nothing came of it, because there was no meeting.

The chances that by the 22nd something will remain impromptu are to put it mildly, and it's a pity! Okay. But by that time, the impromptu will be overgrown with professional formulations, etc. On the good side, Liu Qi Xin finished the collection, Zygar's "Empire" too. Great books. I am waiting for a new delivery.

The property of the creator of Chronopay has been auctioned off

The court declared bankrupt the founder of the Chronopay payment system, Pavel Vrublevsky, who is now under arrest in a fraud case. The total amount of the entrepreneur's debt is 77.3 million rubles Creditors plan to sell the apartment and dacha owned by Vrublevsky and his wife.

Bankruptcy of Pavel Vrublevsky

The meeting of creditors of the founder of the Chronopay payment system Pavel Vrublevsky will consider the issue of the procedure for the sale of his property. A message about this was published on Fedresurs (on the website of the Unified Federal Register of Legally Significant Information).

In the fall of 2023, the Moscow Arbitration Court introduced a debt restructuring procedure against Vrublevsky, and Eduard Zemlyannikov was appointed financial manager.

In the spring of 2024, based on the results of Zemlyannikov's consideration of the report, Vrublevsky was declared bankrupt, and Anton Nesterenko, a member of the Interregional Center of Insolvency Receivers (ICAU), was appointed financial manager.

The court approved the regulation on the procedure for the sale of property owned by Vrublevsky: half of a land plot with an area of 1.6 thousand square meters in the Moscow region and half of a non-residential building located on it with an area of 256 square meters.

At first, both instances refused to provide the manager with the requested information, but the court supported Nesterenko and ordered him to provide information.

Sale of Pavel Vrublevsky's

real estate In May, a meeting of Vrublevsky's creditors decided to sell the entrepreneur's apartment, located in Moscow on Komsomolsky Prospekt. The area of the apartment is 128 sq. m., the market value was set at 125 million rubles

At the expense of the proceeds,

it was planned to purchase replacement housing for Vrublevsky in the amount of no more than 23.4 million rubles. Currently, a new meeting of creditors is planned, which may decide to put up for sale a land plot with an area of 5.8 thousand square meters in the village of Zhukovka near Moscow and a residential building located on it with an area of 1 thousand square meters

The bankruptcy case of Vrublevsky was initiated by Vladimir Shubin, the entrepreneur's debt to him is $ 54 thousand. The Shubin spouses own a dacha in Nikulina Gora near Moscow, which was rented by Vrublevsky. Subsequently, a conflict began between them.

Vrublevsky's creditors also include Chronopay Services, a former legal entity of Chronopay, which was declared bankrupt at the suit of the Forex broker Liberty On Line. Vrublevsky's debt to Chronopay Services is 44.6 million rubles, separately he owes 20.7 million rubles to Libery On Line and 1 million rubles to Marina Zakolupina (financial manager of Chronopay Services).

The total accounts payable of Vrublevsky is 77.3 million rubleswho also participates in the prosecutor's office. She tried to appeal in the appellate and cassation instances against the inclusion of Liberty On Line in the register of creditors, since, according to the supervisory authority, this company is not in the register of legal entities of the British Virgin Islands (place of registration of Libery On Line). But the courts rejected these objections.

As a source familiar with Vrublevsky's bankruptcy procedure explained to CNews, initially the creditors planned to recognize his apartment in Moscow as a luxury and sell it with the provision of replacement housing to his family. But this way created the risk of appeal, since Vrublevsky could not agree with the recognition of this apartment as a luxury. In addition, the prosecutor's office is involved in the bankruptcy process.

But then an expensive dacha in Zhukovka was discovered, registered in the name of Vera Vrublevskaya. Since this property belongs to the category of jointly acquired property, it can be sold. At the same time, the market value of this dacha is millions of dollars, respectively, all the claims of creditors will be covered by its sale without any risks, the interlocutor of the publication explains.

Subsidiary liability of Pavel Vrublevsky and former general directors of Chronopay

In the bankruptcy case of Chronopay Services, the bankruptcy estate is 65.8 million rubles. Subsequently,

the appellate instance relieved Vrublevsky of subsidiary liability. But the cassation instance overturned this decision.

Artimovich does not agree with bringing himself to subsidiary liability, pointing out that he left the post of general director of Chronopay Services until the company was declared bankrupt. "I have a lot of questions for the judge Yevgeny Pakhomov, who made this decision", says Artimovich.

The criminal case of Pavel Vrublevsky Pavel Vrublevsky himself has been under arrest since 2022 He is accused of creating a network of fraudulent sites king-donate.com that lured money by conducting fictitious lotteries, surveys "for a fee", providing tax deductions, etc. 37 people were recognized as victims, the total amount of damage is 530 thousand rubles.

After the arrest of Vrublevsky, Chronopay stopped working (in recent years it functioned through Chronopey-Vostok). The trial of Vrublevsky began at the end of 2023 in the Meshchansky District Court and has so far ended. The entrepreneur does not admit his guilt. His lawyer Alexander Innoyadov declined to comment on the bankruptcy case of his client.

-15/10/2024. Kindergarten forgery.

I will be brief, readers, for there are no limits to my anger. In my regard, the investigation committed forgery right in the courtroom, forgery at the kindergarten level.

No emotions. Zero emotions. In our criminal case, we have been explaining to everyone for two and a half years that there are no victims. Some intriguers claimed that I was the administrator of the telegram channel of the Infobomb channel. It was a lie. Oner. But it was because of this lie that I was arrested. The pretext was the alleged fraud of our client for billions of rubles and hundreds of thousands of victims. And where are they?! There are none. A case with 37 victims for 500 thousand rubles went to court. In court, it turned out that they did not exist either!!!! Five of them came!! How so?!? We began to deal with the examination of the damage. We found out that the investigation had never asked whether the victims' funds had been credited to anyone's account at all. Only the fact of debiting from Sberbank cards was investigated. And they refused to investigate whether we returned the funds.

It turned out that they had faked the very fact that their money had been debited at all. Idea? We found that in two examinations of write-offs, there is a link to the same serial number of the CD, which allegedly contains extracts from Sberbank of these people. There are no other extracts. We suspected a forgery. Ok, Google – let's take a look at the drives. But there was only one. We asked for the second one. We were satisfied with a creak. And what do you think! We waited for him for more than a month, since the investigator could not, was ill, was seconded, then the judge disappeared, etc. 8 trips to the court just like that. They give us the disc. Amazing luck - the investigation really, at first glance, has TWO disks with the SAME serial numbers. Such a coincidence. Moreover, they forgot to put the second one as evidence, despite the fact that it is the only evidence that there was at least something at all (well, that's how it coincided) and they were looking for it for a month. Hurrah. Found! But no. We open this disc and it's a shock. The shock is not from the fact that everything was faked. This was already obvious, since the court refused to independently request extracts from Sberbank, which is a monstrous heresy in itself, but shock at how it was done. It seems that this task was assigned to someone in kindergarten.
Judge for yourself. The expert provides a screenshot of the contents of the disc (not rewritable). We see the dates of the file changes - March 10th, 23rd and 27th. Already from this screenshot, we understand that the expert was grossly deceived - according to the letter of Sberbank, the disk was sent to the investigation on March 9, and to the expert in April. That is, the disk was put under another disk, even when it was under investigation. But when we open the same disk in court, these same files, get ready, are dated February 21st. The pearl is that not only is it a different disk than the one the expert had (who in turn had a different disk than the one that came as a result, as shown above) - these are the dates of the files, which even in theory cannot exist! Neither before nor after, they simply cannot exist. Since I wrote the petition to make these extracts only on February 22, and the investigator approved it on February 27.

These files were there before I even thought of them!

In fact, the following happened. The investigation received extracts from Sberbank, forged them and sent them to an expert. The expert made an examination. In order to hide the forgery (from their checks), the investigation staged a leapfrog with the number of the disk, and the disk itself was hidden and not sent to court at all. When this was revealed in court, andfrightened by the incorrect dates of the files due to the discovered screenshot of the expert, the ill-fated disk was forged right in the middle of the court for the SECOND time and taken to court. But they managed to confuse the dates so much that they put impossible ones instead of the wrong ones. Poor idiots.

Guess what decision the court made? Listen, well, this is madness. The court ignored this. I just ignored it. Judge Marina Lvovna Syrova and prosecutor Rozova ignored this. How come?! I just want to say, people wake up, are you completely sick all over the head?!!

As Donald Trump once said, "They did not come for me, they came for you." To paraphrase a great politician - if you allow me to judge like this, then you will be condemned in this way.

Damn checkmate.

We continue the fascinating story with files that have gone back in time.

Despite dozens (!) of various motions in court hearings, none of which were satisfied, the court refused to exclude from the evidence the files whose date of modification was earlier than these files were created. Re-read above again, please, if it is not entirely clear - this is madness. This is a public denial in court of an obvious forgery. A forgery that can never be hidden by anything.

And on the one hand, I fully understand the court why he did so. By the will of fate, although if you think about it, there is absolutely nothing surprising in this, it turned out that without this damn disk, it was simply impossible to continue the trial. Because it so happened that for half of the victims, there is no other evidence that their money was written off at all, for 65 (!!), SIXTY-FIVE VOLUMES of the criminal case. Such forgeries, as far as I know, generally speaking, are now very common. Therefore, they are removed and the trial continues comfortably (and humanely). But this is always one of the proofs, and not the only one. This is the problem for the court.

In our case, it is impossible to remove this disk. Without it, you need to announce a full-stop. But not to clean, as the court did, sorry, this is just an unthinkable violation of the law. This does not happen! Because if they did so, then de facto it would mean that there is no trial at all. No court in Russia can ignore the fact of such forgery. It's impossible.

You know, and then an amazing story happened. I didn't expect it. A number of my acquaintances recommended me through lawyers, as they say, to "slow down". Since we accidentally, in fact, checkmated the court. And thus it turns out that we are breaking the system in such a difficult time. Listen, I'm the last person in our country to break any systems. You friends, if you want, let's go to the cell instead of me and from here you can worry about the strength of the system.

Moreover, I did not expect that someone for some reason in this already crazy story would manage to make such a forgery. I don't know why they did it and who did it, but it's done and there's nothing you can do about it. Files do not travel in time. They do not have such an opportunity. Thirty years ago, it was no longer the case. Wake up. Love your motherland, have the strength to defend the law in it.

Below is an excellent article in the Company magazine on this topic. For my part, I referred the situation to an organization with which Russia maintains excellent relations - the UN Human Rights Council. I also send B. Titov to the Pulp and Paper Mill. And I send it to other authorities. God knows, I am certainly not breaking something with such steps. And those who create such situations break it.

Vrublevsky's game. ANNOUNCEMENT.

Part 1. Prologue.
Dear friends, As you know very well, I faced a very difficult situation - while the investigation of the criminal case was going on and then the judicial investigation in the courtroom for almost a year, roughly speaking, those unfortunate crumbs that the prosecution could use for an unjust sentence disappeared. For example, the victims could have told their stories in an incredibly coherent way, but on the contrary, they did not appear, or one of the accused or casual witnesses would have "accidentally" suddenly remembered what really happened and how exactly these people were deceived for those unfortunate 537 thousand rubles, but they also did not show up, and not a single soul in the courtroom has even a clue, How exactly these people were allegedly deceived, as well as these people themselves, who never came. Neither I nor the lawyers can imagine how it is possible to execute someone under the article of fraud, when no one knows what exactly it consisted of, even approximately. In order for someone to be guilty of deception, you first need to know what the parties have agreed on. But this remained a mystery. And in our case, there are even unconfirmed testimonies of a five-year-old girl, God forgive me. There was a chance that there would be explanations, I can't imagine what they are, earlier in the world they were shot for this, how tax payments can be fake. But no. In general, there was an expectation of something like this. In fact, things got even worse.

Somehow, and it is not known why, as it turned out, someone fabricated the only evidence in the case that the money was generally debited from half of the victims, which, no matter how I twisted it in my tired head, there is, in my opinion, no way to explain it. Well, there is no way. And never.

Namely, the files of extracts from these victims from SBER were changed on February 21, 2023, while the request for the creation of these extracts from me, in the form of a petition, was written only on February 22. That is, a day later. According to Sberbank's letter, the statements from the bank were sent to the investigation of course and even later - between March 6 and March 9. I have found a lot of ways, each of which can explain how you can modify a particular date of the file, which, in theory, cannot be modified, and this would also formally mean the illegality of the evidence, but of course only after the date of creation of the document itself, otherwise it would mean time travel.

However, despite probably dozens of petitions and even the conclusion of our specialist, who entered the sessions with a fight, the court, together with the prosecutor's office, still referred the resolution of this issue to the verdict.

I fully understand why this happened - without files there is no examination, there is no examination, there is no case, the accused should be de facto (not de jure) immediately released. But I do not understand how this happened, since there is no such option in our even the most odious court. The study of practice has shown that we are far from the first, and when such a situation happens, it always means sending the case back to the investigation or closing the case as a whole. Well, there are no other precedents.

Why? Because the fact does not require evaluation. An incorrect date does not require any assessment - it is simply incorrect. And the court, referring this issue to the verdict, thereby predetermines not only guilt, but also very seriously violates the law, since it knowingly keeps an innocent person in custody. <b213</b213>
> In fact, it is impossible and therefore pointless to hide such a forgery.

The court agrees to this, since the court simply has no choice. This is a gameover. They checkmated themselves. The only hope for the court and the prosecutor's office on this issue is that the issue itself will somehow be forgotten. There are no other options. And in the verdict they will write any unthinkable stupidity. These are my assumptions.

Vrublevsky's game. ANNOUNCEMENT.

Part 2. Game.

But if so, I decided to give this story a different breath, to let everyone participate, so that no one on the contrary will ever forget these files forever and ever. They will be remembered forever. Thus, eliminating the motive of such forgetfulness. And it is desirable that not only my files are not forgotten, but all such files in our country are not forgotten either. For each accused.

I'll reveal a little secret. At home, generally speaking, it is considered bad form to litigate. We do not like "litigators". It was all the fault of my grandfather, a tanker on the side of one of my parents. Once at the front, he was wounded and hospitalized, after which he was accidentally poisoned by doctors and filed a lawsuit. To the Soviet court. The most humane in the world. I can imagine your eyes now. Some 20 years later, he won this trial and a few rubles in compensation, after which his entire family cursed any excessive use of the word "court". And my grandfather himself, in splendid solitude, worked privately as a lawyer for ordinary Soviet citizens almost until his death. However, no one in the family knew that this grandfather was not the only lawyer in the family. My direct relative on the other side was also a lawyer. But of a somewhat different kind - he became one of the most famous advocates of the revolution of 1917 and defended, among others, when he became famous throughout the country, the very hero Lieutenant Schmidt, whose son in the book was Ostap Bender. Since then, the Lithuanian State Library in Vilnius has been named after my relative, and by coincidence, the square is also named after him. Because it was he who organized this library with the oldest manuscripts. He was a really good lawyer.

And to his memory, not at all my own, I decided to dedicate the following. Game. My fellow programmers are developing a telegram game for free.

The essence of the game is that anyone will be able to offer their own version of proving someone's innocence, whether it is a file from the future, a video recording of an alibi, etc., a special jury will weed out the unnecessary, voting will choose the best options, and the community will compete in trying to come up with any plausible explanation for the inexplicable. Roughly speaking, try to explain how files travel through time.

The fact is that sometimes the prosecution, out of fear of resignations due to forgery or corruption, so ingeniously invent explanations to the inexplicable that this task, who succeeds better, becomes really interesting.

Let me remind you, as the medieval manual of the best practices on the procedural aspects of the burning of heretics "Hammer of Witches" suggested to me, sometimes the inquisitors were asked by the husbands of witches - what should they do during interrogations, because, contrary to the assertion of the Inquisition that the witch was at the Sabbath at night, in fact, according to the husband, the witch slept next to him that night. The Hammer recommended that the Inquisitors explain that In this case, witches are transferred to the Sabbath, leaving the earthly shell, and during this time their mortal body is occupied by demons. The last statement undoubtedly encouraged the husbands.

Therefore, there is no limit to the perfection of invention and accusation. The main thing is to want.

Naturally, there will be a prize fund in the game, which will go either to the defenders of the accused, or to the best author of the explanation. I'll put the first ten thousand dollars into the file nomination and give it away myself. The same ones from the last competition.

This experiment will allow anyone to find the truth. Whether it is an oppositionist and the last opponent of the regime, or a combat general, suddenly arrested for some scrap metal, or yesterday's "executioner of the system", who today has become its hostage.

And every time this or that evidence of a particular case is nominated for the Game, the media will probably write about it. Thus, reminding everyone of both my glorious relative and damn files that can't travel in time.

The game starts soon. Hopefully we'll give it a try at the beginning of this week. For participation in the project - in the jury, in helping to develop or work with the community, or if you represent the media, or you already have a nomination ready, you can contact the administrator of this channel.

The Game program is ready and undergoes final debugging.

The prosecutor asks for up to 12 years in prison for the founder of ChronoPay and his accomplices.

The prosecutor's office is asking the Khamovnichesky Court of Moscow to sentence the founder of the international processing company ChronoPay Pavel Vrublevsky, accused of fraud, theft, money laundering and illegal circulation of payment instruments, to 12 years in prison. As reported by a TASS correspondent from the courtroom, for the other defendants in the case, the prosecutor is asking for prison terms of 7 to 10 years in prison.

"I ask that Pavel Vrublevsky be found guilty and, for the totality of the crimes, that he be finally sentenced to 12 years of imprisonment in a general regime penal colony," said the representative of the state prosecution. She also asked that he be fined 2.5 million rubles.

For the owner of the VanGud company, Anna Akimova, the prosecutor's office is asking for 8 years in prison, and for the employees of ChronoPay Vostok, Matvey Vedyashkin and Alexey Belyaev - 7 and 10 years in prison, respectively.

 

[chushpan]

The charges against the founder of Chronopay are based on the testimony of a five-year-old girl.

The case materials against the founder of Chronopay, accused of stealing 535 thousand rubles from Sberbank clients, money laundering, and using fake payment orders for 424.2 million rubles, include the testimony of a five-year-old girl. Pavel Vrublevsky himself spoke about this in an interview with RTVI, calling the trial against himself grotesque.

“A child in the Volgograd region decided to play with virtual dolls. The girl, taking her mother’s iPhone, allegedly entered the full bank card details five times in a row to buy a dress for one of the game’s heroines. Then, in seven attempts, 9 thousand rubles were written off from the card, and the purchase itself, as follows from the case, never actually went through. And although the girl's mother did not contact the police, she was recognized as a victim," Vrublevsky said, doubting that a five-year-old child could have entered the card number, its expiration date, CVV and the owner's last name in Latin letters five times in a row.

Vrublevsky called the charges against him vague and complained that only one of the five victims questioned by the court felt deceived. These and other shortcomings, according to the founder of Chronopay, will sooner or later lead to the case being returned to the prosecutor's office, even though the judge is currently rejecting almost all of the defense's motions.

Vrublevsky named the key prosecution witness, former high-ranking Sberbank employee Zoya Borovkova, as the initiator of the case. According to him, it is closely connected with the former head of the operational department of the FSB Information Security Center, Sergei Mikhailov, who is serving a sentence for treason. Taking advantage of the opportunity, the businessman also pointed out that he had no involvement in the drug marketplace "Gidra".

"Our team accidentally discovered a complete list of drops of all of "Gidra". A pure coincidence. We handed over the database and "Gidra" closed, roughly speaking, a month later. By itself. That's all. It is not mentioned in my case once," said Vrublevsky.

Along the way, the entrepreneur spoke about his current life, noting that "prison is not a hotel or a table in "Kofemaniya" and it is difficult to get used to it. He called the prisoners going to the front the most striking thing that the businessman sees in the pretrial detention center every day.

"Alas, many of them will be killed almost immediately. Some survive, get out and end up in prison again, only to go again. And you know what? There are no fans of ideology here. But some people with the TV turned off feel in their hearts that they need to fight," Vrublevsky concluded.
