The Prosecutor's Office of the Mogilev region supported in court the state prosecution in a criminal case against eight persons charged with distributing bank payment card details and authentication data, through which it is possible to gain access to accounts, as well as complicity in fraud and theft by modifying computer information on a particularly large scale.
As it was established, in November 2022, a 21-year-old resident of the city of Cherikov received an offer on the Internet from an unidentified person for a monetary reward to collect and provide information that can be used to access bank accounts opened for other persons.

Having agreed, the young man first searched for such citizens himself, who, as a rule, for 20 rubles were willing to transfer to him the data of access to the accounts opened on them in banks. When the customer needed to increase the amount of data received, the defendant involved seven more people in collecting information, including his friends and classmates from among college students. He explained to them that this information is necessary for the withdrawal of cryptocurrency.

From November 2022 to February 2023, the defendants managed to collect the authentication data of 156 citizens.

Subsequently, unidentified persons used part of the information received to transfer other people's money when committing embezzlement.

As a result, 46 citizens living in all regions of the Republic of Belarus became victims of "telephone fraud". The amount of funds stolen from them exceeded 564 thousand rubles.

Based on the evidence presented by the State prosecutor, the Leninsky District Court of Mogilev issued a guilty verdict. On the basis of part 2 of Article 222, Part 6 of Article 16, Part 4 of Article 209, Part 6 of Article 16, Part 4 of Article 212 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Belarus, the accused was finally sentenced to imprisonment for a term of 7 years with a fine of 500 basic units (20 thousand rubles) and served in a correctional colony in high-security conditions. In addition, property damage and compensation for non-pecuniary damage caused to the victims were recovered from him in favor of the victims.

The remaining six defendants, based on Part 1 and Part 2 of Article 222 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Belarus, were sentenced in the form of restriction of freedom without sending them to an open-type correctional institution for a period of 3 years each with a fine of 300 basic units (12 thousand rubles). One of the accused, who was a minor at the time of the crime, was sentenced to a fine of 50 basic units (2 thousand rubles).

The verdict has not entered into legal force and may be appealed and challenged on appeal.
