U.S.A DEPORT 31 YEAR OLD RUSSIAN CYBER-CRIMINAL, ALEKSEI BURKOV.
The United States has deported 31 year old Aleksei Burkov, a key player in the Russian cybercriminal world who was sentenced to 9 years in US prison in 2020 for his role in a scheme that defrauded Americans of millions of dollars.
Russian authorities took Burkov into custody after he arrived at Moscow's Sheremetyevo International Airport, according to Russia's Ministry of Internal Affairs. In Russia, Burkov is accused of bank card fraud and of trading confidential financial data, activity that allegedly took place between 2008 and 2015.
Before his arrest in 2015, US officials had seen Burkov as a key player in Russia's cybercriminal underworld, where he allegedly ran a website that facilitated more than $20 million in credit card fraud.
He also ran an invitation-only web forum that served as a meeting point for "elite cybercriminals," according to the Justice Department.
