According to her, the criminal structure has participated in removing at least 37 billion rubles (the equivalent of about 500 million euros) from the Russian Federation during 2013-2014.<\/p>\n

“Citizens of the Russian Federation and the Republic of Moldova have created an international criminal organization with the purpose of operating large-scale illegal currency operations. The organizers of the illegal actions were holders of Russian Federation citizenship, Vladimir Plahotniuc and Veaceslav Platon,” Volk added.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

<\/p>\n

The information published<\/a> on the website of the Russian Ministry shows that during the period 2013-2014 the members of the criminal structure, under invented pretexts and with false documents, transferred money from the accounts of the legal entities they controlled in two banks<\/strong> (OAO Bank “\u0417\u0430\u043f\u0430\u0434\u043d\u044b\u0439” and \u041e\u0410\u041e “\u0420\u0443\u0441\u0441\u043a\u0438\u0439 \u0417\u0435\u043c\u0435\u043b\u044c\u043d\u044b\u0439 \u0411\u0430\u043d\u043a”) in foreign currency on non-resident accounts BC Moldinconbank SA and other foreign organizations<\/strong> under the pretext of trading the currency.<\/p>\n

Altogether, over 37 billion rubles have been removed.<\/p>\n

Investigators have been detained by the inhabitant of the Moscow region, Alexandr Korkin.<\/p>\n

In April 2017, businessman Veaceslav Platon was sentenced to 18 years in prison in the Republic of Moldova for raider attacks and money laundering.<\/p>\n
