The investigative part of the Investigative Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia in the Smolensk region sent a criminal case to the court against a citizen of one of the neighboring countries, accused of stealing money from bank cards.

From August to December 2013, the man created a group with the aim of secretly stealing money from bank cards. According to the regional Ministry of Internal Affairs, it included two more foreign citizens.

The accused purchased devices for video recording of entering PIN codes and receiving information from the magnetic strips of cards in encrypted form (skimming). Later, he personally handed these devices to his accomplices, who placed them at bank terminals in Smolensk. The attackers received the necessary information and transmitted it using digital media to the organizer of the criminal group. Thus, they managed to steal about 1.5 million rubles from more than 200 bank cards.

The organizer of the group managed to escape abroad and was put on the international wanted list. In 2020, through the channels of Interpol, he was established on the territory of the Federal Republic of Germany, extradited to the Russian Federation and taken to Smolensk, where he was detained.

The accused pleaded guilty. He will appear in court in the near future.
