司法部在印度被捕的Garantex加密貨幣運營商向他收費

據報導，立陶宛國家和俄羅斯居民Aleksej Besciokov，據報導，印度喀拉拉邦被警察逮捕，同時與家人一起在該國南部海岸度假。

One of the operators of sanctioned Russian cryptocurrency exchange Garantex was arrested in India on Tuesday, according to two recent news reports.

根據最近的兩份新聞報導，一名受認可的俄羅斯加密貨幣交易所Garantex的經營者周二在印度被捕。

Lithuanian national and Russian resident Aleksej Besciokov, 46, was reportedly arrested by police in the Indian state of Kerala, while vacationing on the country’s southern coast with his family, Techcrunch and KrebsonSecurity reported.

據TechCrunch和Krebsonsecurity報導，立陶宛國家和俄羅斯居民Aleksej Besciokov，據報導，印度喀拉拉邦的警察被警察逮捕，同時與他的家人一起在該國的南部海岸度假。

Last week, a coalition of international law enforcement agencies from the U.S., Germany and Finland seized Garantex’s domains and servers and froze nearly $28 million in crypto tied to the exchange with the help of stablecoin issuer Tether. The exchange was sanctioned by the U.S. Treasury’s Office of Foreign Asset Control (OFAC) in 2022, for knowingly facilitating money laundering for ransomware actors, including Conti and Black Basta, and darknet markets like Hydra, the largest such market in the world before its closure in 2022.

上週，來自美國，德國和芬蘭的國際執法機構聯盟抓住了Garantex的域名和服務器，並在Stablecoin發行人Tether的幫助下凍結了近2800萬美元的加密貨幣。該交易所於2022年受到美國國債外國資產控制辦公室的批准，因為他們故意為勒索軟件參與者（包括Conti and Black Basta）以及Hydra等人的Darknet市場促進了洗錢，以及2022年關閉前世界上最大的此類市場。

In addition to allegedly facilitating money laundering for criminals, including North Korea’s in-house hacking squad the Lazarus Group, which was behind the massive $1.5 billion Bybit heist last month, Garantex reportedly played a large role in sanctions evasion. Upscale sanctions evasion services like the TGR Group, which cater to Russian oligarchs, have been connected to the exchange.

除了據稱為犯罪分子洗錢外，包括朝鮮內部黑客黑客小隊拉撒路集團（Lazarus Group）上個月落後於15億美元的Bybit Heist，Garantex在逃避制裁中發揮了重要作用。符合俄羅斯寡頭的TGR集團等高檔制裁逃避服務已與交易所有關。

In conjunction with the seizure, U.S. prosecutors charged Besciokov and another of Garantex’s operators, 40-year-old Russian Aleksandr Mira Serda, a resident of the United Arab Emirates, with money laundering conspiracy. Besciokov is currently listed on the U.S. Secret Service’s Most Wanted list.

與癲癇發作一起，美國檢察官指控Besciokov和Garantex的另一位運營商，40歲的俄羅斯Aleksandr Mira Serda，阿拉伯聯合酋長國的居民，洗錢的陰謀。目前在美國特勤局最想要的列表中列出了Besciokov。

Neither the Kerala police nor the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) responded to CoinDesk’s request for comment about Besciokov’s reported arrest.

喀拉拉邦警察和美國司法部（DOJ）均未回應Coindesk關於BESCIOKOV據報導被捕的評論請求。
