Federal prosecutors in Brooklyn have indicted Iurii Gugnin, the founder of a cryptocurrency payment company based in the United States, for allegedly running an elaborate international money laundering scheme. This operation reportedly facilitated the transfer of more than $530 million for Russian banks and entities that are currently under sanctions.
As reported by CNBC, the 38-year-old Russian national, who lives in Manhattan, has been taken into custody in connection with these serious charges.
