Vitebsk student created an illegal electronic money exchange

November 24, Vitebsk / Olga Bogacheva - BELTA /. A Vitebsk student earned over Br100 million from an illegal virtual exchange office, the head of the investigation supervision department of the Vitebsk region prosecutor's office, Anatoly Vysotsky, told a BELTA correspondent. A student of the Vitebsk State Technological University created an illegal exchange office for electronic money of various payment systems on the Internet, through which, for a certain percentage, one could not only exchange electronic currencies of different countries but also cash them out into Belarusian rubles using plastic cards. It was also possible to pay for communication services and telecommunications means here. At the same time, the 21-year-old student was not interested in the origin of the money; stolen funds from the electronic wallets of citizens of various states were also cashed out through his exchange office. A criminal case has been initiated against the young man under Part 1 of Article 233 of the Criminal Code of Belarus for illegal entrepreneurial activity, coupled with obtaining income in a large amount, which provides for up to three years of imprisonment. -0-
