In the US state of Oregon, a Portland court has sentenced Russian Denis Dubnikov to an already served prison term in a case of involvement in a money laundering conspiracy, RIA Novosti reports. In addition, Dubnikov was fined $10,000.
The Russian must also regularly report to the police, take drug tests and provide DNA samples at the request of the US authorities, according to the court materials.
Dubnikov was detained in November 2021 at the request of the United States. According to his lawyer, Arkady Bukh, the 29-year-old Russian was denied entry to Mexico and put on a plane to the Netherlands. “American intelligence agencies pushed him onto a plane to Holland and sent him there, paying for the ticket. That is, in fact, they simply abducted, ”the lawyer said.
The defense pointed out that Mexico does not have such an ideal extradition policy as the Netherlands, from where extradition is “guaranteed”.
The Wall Street Journal wrote that the US authorities accused the Russian of laundering money in the interests of a cybercriminal group called Ryuk, as well as receiving a reward of $400,000 in bitcoins.
