The US prosecutor's office demands to sentence Russian citizen Dmitry Ukrainsky to 5 years in prison in the case of embezzlement of $ 28.5 million from credit cards using malicious software.
The Prosecutor's Office, in its final opinion on possible punishment, notes that the court, when passing a sentence, will obviously take into account the time spent by the defendant in custody awaiting extradition from Thailand to the United States, and calls on the court to take into account the commission of a number of offenses by the Ukrainian in Thailand, where he was sentenced to 104 months in prison.
The verdict is scheduled to be announced by the Federal Court for the Eastern District of New York on October 3.
Recall that the Russian was detained by Thai law enforcement agencies at the request of the US authorities back in July 2016. Soon after, it became known that Moscow is seeking the extradition of the Ukrainian in connection with charges of fraud in the amount of more than 7.5 million rubles, committed by him in 2013 as part of an organized group.
Despite the statements of the Russian Foreign Ministry about the inadmissibility of the extradition of a Russian citizen to the United States, in 2020, the Thai authorities granted Washington's request for the Ukrainian's extradition. In June 2022, he was taken to the United States, where he was put on trial.
"Dmitry Ukrainsky harassed the Americans at a distance of half a world. His accomplices stole bank account logins and passwords from individuals, organizations, and universities, and stole more than $ 3.5 million. Through a chain of intermediaries, these funds were transferred to the defendant, who accepted transfers using a network of bank accounts and carried out transactions using forged invoices, documents and passports. The defendant was an indispensable link in the fraudulent scheme; even though he was not involved in deceiving the victims, he did the internal work that made the scheme profitable. And he was fully aware of the actions of his accomplices, as evidenced by electronic correspondence, " the US prosecutor's office claims.
As RAPSI reported earlier, in mid-September, the Russian confessed to complicity in embezzlement and made a deal with the investigation.
