Late in the evening i received a text message with an offer to cash out the socalled cryptocurrency, and i thought why such hurry, because you can do it all tomorrow afternoon. 2 years ago, a twentynineyearold resident of minsk was returning home late when a single subscriber, a gamer, wrote on telegram with a request to exchange cryptocurrency. For the last year, online trading of Digital Currency on an exchange is easier than crypto trading, buying and selling it was the main way of earning money for mikhail , he had made similar exchanges many times before, so the offer from a stranger did not arouse any suspicion in the young man, the only thing that confused him was the urgency of the transaction. They offered him a profitable course, motivated by the fact that this must be done within. They used psychological methods here, saying that i have 2 hours, i need to fly off by plane, thats why this course. It was already late at night from may 4 to may 5, and although mikhail suggested conducting the deal during the day, the interlocutor continued to insist on his own. A victim in this field of activity, he earned money, received income, the most favorable rate was offered to him, which is why he came to meet me in the dark, yes. Mikhail agrees to the conditions and appoints the place himself meeting, having stopped at home for money, within an hour a deal arrives, with him 28 thousand dollars. The crypto investor didnt notice any trick at first, and there shouldnt have been any incidents, but soon the parking lot on the capitals hekal street will turn into a stage on which it will be played out. And whether it was a robber, and not a banal swindler, who denied his guilt to the last, had to be investigated by the investigation. Hello, hello, im sergey, misha, misha, 28,000 greens, as agreed, yes, in the meantime, send me your address, where to transfer the money, oh, its hard to translate, but ill count it for now, okay . We agreed that the Exchange Rate favorable for the investor was one to one 28 thousand stem coins, in other words, this is an electronic dollar for 28 thousand us dollars. Once again, the amount and terms of the transaction are not clear, mikhail sends the address of his electronic wallet to the gamer subscriber, being sure that the guy sitting in the front seat is the one with whom he has been corresponding all this time, and hands the new acquaintance the money, but not all of it amount at once, only 20,000 foreign currency. Hello, wait until i forward it, i im counting, okay, what do i need, can i treat myself to a cigarette . Yeah, wait a second, what are you doing . Give back the table uh, what was this, did you decide to cheat us out of money or what . In the sense that this is some kind of setup, what a setup, you didnt even get me to the point, i understand, this is the kind of training you have, yes, what kind of training, i ll call the police now, they. Ill quickly sort out this whole thing theme, call, we have nothing to worry about. On may 5, 2022, at 40 oclock, the operational duty service of the soviet rvd of the city of minsk received a report of open theft of the victims funds in the amount of 20,000. Based on this message , work was organized at the scene of the incident. Ivan andreev, head of the First Department of the sovetsky District Department of the Investigative Committee of minsk. In his position since 2022 , throughout the investigation, he provided procedural guidance and control over the progress and investigation of the criminal case, coordinated the actions of the investigator, monitored the legality of decisionmaking and the implementation of the entire scope of investigative and other procedural actions. It was established that there were signs of a crime provided for in part four of article 29, a criminal case was initiated, a group of investigators was created, each of the investigators was assigned. Was instructed to carry out a certain series of investigative actions to establish the entire picture of this crime. While everyone is waiting for Law Enforcement officers to arrive, the crypto trader is trying to find out what happened; he again writes in a telegram to the person with whom he agreed on the deal, but cannot believe his eyes. Instead of the user gamer, it appears completely other nickname dimon. He understands that the account has been renamed and all previous correspondence with him has been deleted. He will tell the Law Enforcement about this later, but what if the victim really staged the robbery for his own benefit, as his opponents claimed, and was the first to call the police in order to divert suspicion from himself, where did he get such a large amount of cash, whose side is he on . However, investigators will need 4 months, about 15 confrontations, examinations, many interrogations and examinations. Phones to finally unravel this story, appealing exclusively to the collected facts and evidence. The criminal case was accepted by me after the initial investigative actions were not postponed, after the statement, after the initiation, at this stage two defendants in the case had already been arrested, in the case it was Still Necessary to make a decision on two more defendants, since there were generally suspects at the initial initial stage four people. Svetlana tabulich, senior investigator of the sovetsky District Department of the Investigative Committee of minsk. In she has been working as a senior investigator since 2015, in a criminal case she conducted interrogations of witnesses involved, examinations, organized expert studies of operationalsearch activities, brought charges against all three defendants and handed over the case materials to the prosecutor for sending to court. There was a big piece of work to do, because at. The initial stages our defendants, each of them had their own version, had to prove the participation of each and the role of each of the participants. At the first stages of the investigation the case is based on the testimony of the victim. The young man convincingly described the events that took place, gave logical answers to everything, there were no inconsistencies in the words, and this gave every reason to trust him, unlike other people detained at. The crime scene, i thought about them, and not about me, i im saying, guys, youve got something mixed up, some kind of regulation you have here, in general, for such crimes, contact. Transfers are made in order to first understand whether such a deal between the defendants and the victim could, in principle, happen. In belarus, cryptocurrency is not recognized as a means of payment, which means that it cannot be used to pay for a product or service, but it can be stored, exchanged, bought or sold. In 2017 , decree number eight on the development of the Digital Economy was signed. This is how a legal basis for the functioning of cryptocurrencies appears in belarus. And by the way, in july of this year it is planned to develop a concept for the further development of the field of digital signs in the country. Currently, transactions in the cryptosphere are for individuals who are not registered as residents in the hitech park prohibited. By law, such transactions are recognized as illegal entrepreneurship. Due to the fact that cryptocurrency in the republic of belarus at that time was also completely new to me personally, i had to. To study the legislative framework a little, is it really the law to carry out such operations on the territory of the republic of belarus, it really was that all this is legal, that there are a large number of cryptocurrencies, types of courses, requests were sent to various Companies Regarding the activities of cryptocurrency, the wallets of the same victim were studied for everything and how. Investigators make a request, including to the belarusian High Technology park, to find out whether the crypto exchanger through which the victim receives income is registered ; they receive a positive response, which confirms the earnings of the crypto investor absolutely legal, there are no questions about it from the point of view of the law, which, as it turns out later, the defendants did not count on at all. The first two to come under Law Enforcement suspicion sergei vnukov, a twentyoneyearold guy, himself from russia , came to belarus in 2019 to receive higher education. At the time of his arrest, he already had an outstanding conviction for violating traffic rules. Based on all his actions , acquaintances and even his own father characterize the guy as spoiled, the second suspect, with whom the grandchildren came to the deal, both were detained at the crime scene. My friend, sergei vnukov, asked me to take part in the deal, as an accompaniment for reliability. He was also asked about this, i at first he refused, but then he agreed. When everything was happening, at first i didnt understand anything, i saw danil and ran across the road. I followed him, and there was a car in which he and igralov drove, they drove away, i returned when we were already waiting for the police in the car, sergei asked me not to talk about transferring money, i asked why, what was the matter , explain, he said, then he will tell, he asked me, if he suddenly asks me, to say that the victim got into our car to warm up, confirming the facts that for. A witness, like the girl who was in the car at the time of the rigged meeting. A little later, Law Enforcement officers will identify two more suspects twentyyearold daniil kozel and his friend, twentyfiveyearold arseny igralov. He will be taken into custody last of all, only 2 months after the crime. Three accused grandchildren game. But lets say, he began to act as the accused needed, but initially questions about his participation and role in the commission of this crime were played, at the initial stage. After being detained for three days, he was also released, and later, during the preliminary investigation, i made a decision to detain him, and he was also charged, he was taken into custody, he did not try to escape, he tried, lets say so, to choose responsibility, referring and testifying that providing herself with an alibi, lets say, she named the names of the witnesses who saw him at the time of the crime. Well, he came to buy bitcoin, whether he goes to the trash can to write a statement or not, he will does the department have any questions about where the money comes from . This recording was sent on may 4 closer to 9 pm, a few hours before the crime was committed, during the initial meetings with the persons involved in the case, of course, each investigator tries to win over in order to get maximum information from all participants, grandchildren so. Already tried somehow. Then, probably, to win me over, and he told me his passwords for his mobile phone, i dont know whether the message was read by my father, unfortunately, during the interrogation he did not explain this to us, but the very fact that that on the eve of these events the accused sent such a message gave reason to believe that this was all preplanned. And organized. The course of the investigation was also complicated by the fact that all three guys, as one, each put forward their own defensive version, saying that they were not in the know, but even without their confessions it was obvious that the events that unfolded in the parking lot were nothing more than a production in which he was drawn into victim. By coincidence, he was the first and only victim of the guys simple acting. It was established that our accused. Before the events took place, they had previously planned meetings with other participants, but for one reason or another, the transactions did not take place, the circumstances were not the same, then many victims came , well, lets say, for the victims, several people came, that is, they were no longer suitable, then they in this case, they referred to the fact that it was not possible to transfer money , it was not possible to transfer cryptocurrencies, there were not enough, well. They walked away, lets say, from such transactions, somewhere it was apparently not very convenient to complete, this all happened the day before played out robberies, during the day the guys went to meetings in search of a suitable. Movements around the city, the trips were tracked by a tracker. From an interrogation of the director of a car rental organization. Zargarov is a regular client of our organization; he has been our client for more than 2 years. He takes it frequently , about once a week. I can also say that i know vnukov as an acquaintance of zargarov. He also took cars from our organization, but he did not take them himself, but came with someone who had a drivers license. But who produced a nighttime street production . This question haunted me, and although the defendants continued to shift the blame to one another, in this matter the investigators suspicion fell on the eldest of the guys. Arsenia played. During the preliminary investigation, it was established that he was purposefully looking for people to commit these events. He needed strong guys who could do it. Back again, as it turned out, the duets of igralov kozel and the grandchildren of the zargars met each other just a day before the events, having made an announcement in a thematic group on telegram, the defendants contacted a certain cryptobroker located abroad, he contacted a third person through a messenger, this was a friend of the victim, who also made money on cryptocurrency, was outside the republic of belarus, he himself could not come to this transaction, he transferred this transaction to his friend. He is a student from stolin, who twice dropped out of his studies in minsk to earn money. Recently, daniil lived with an older friend and igralov saw that his friend was interested in online games and even periodically helped him withdraw earned crypto. And here is the answer gamer, which means player, under this nickname, kozel conducted correspondence in messenger. For hedging deals, igralov offered a fee of 500. Kozel would find so much on him during the arrest, roles were distributed among the others, the impudent young man of the grandchildren, with whom igralovs mutual acquaintance introduced him, was responsible for live conversations with clients. The guess that the twenty oneyearold guy was clearly aware of the planned robbery will be confirmed by his acquaintance who was sitting in the car with him at the meeting. When we were driving towards him, i was talking a lot with someone on telegram, in one of. I heard one phrase come up and ask for a cigarette. Then, when we were waiting for the police, sergei suggested that my friend and i tell him that there was no money and that the victim got into the car to warm up. During the investigation of the criminal case, Operational Support was provided by the relevant services, materials from operational search activities were provided to the investigation, including telephone conversations of the accused for the purpose of identification. Voices belonging to specific defendants during the investigation of a criminal case , a phonoscopic examination was appointed and carried out, according to the conclusion the office established that the voice belonged specifically to the accused vnukov, to take the money from vnukovs hands, staging a robbery, they entrusted kozel, nearby in the car a player was waiting for him, with whom they immediately they left, essentially abandoning their accomplices, both knew the crime scene, because they checked it in advance. For the absence of cctv cameras, along the way home, daniil will clear all correspondence with the victim, the perfect crime has almost happened. Arseniy igralov will soon realize that his partners were detained that same night by sending a veiled message. Salam, brother, havent seen you for a long time, havent heard from you, when you have time, write or call. The inevitable happened; the entire stage of the preliminary investigation took place in silence on the part of the defendants. By the end of the investigation, suspended. Of the collected evidence, only one will speak daniil kozel, who is also a gamer. Initially, everyone was very selfconfident, calm, believed that they would be able to avoid punishment, but closer to the end of the preliminary investigation, realizing that they could not escape responsibility, their behavior was slightly different. Goat, again, if. Entering the preliminary means the guilt was proven. She remained an investigator. Failed. But igralovs motive became clear, which pushed him to take a criminal step. These are business problems, a difficult financial situation and a debt of 2. 0 us dollars. In front of his father. Is it a coincidence, but on the day the crime was committed, igralov will send a message to dad that he can right now. Return 1,500, the defendants in the case were counting on the fact that activities with cryptocurrency on the territory of the republic of belarus are illegal, in particular regarding individuals, but this is regulated by our legislation, the victim was engaged in cryptocurrency activities legally, and again the defendants were counting on the fact that there were several of them who came to the deal, but we have only one person involved. He will not be able to prove his position, defend his rights, again counting on the fact that transactions on the territory of the republic of belarus with foreign currency, in particular with us dollars, this is illegal, the victim will not apply, so as not to be held accountable, all this together, lets say, led to the fact that a crime was committed, somewhere even boldly and impudently. The victim did not receive any income. Based on the results of the investigation, all three participants in the staged robbery were charged under the most serious fourth part of article 209 of the criminal code. This is a major scam committed by a group of people. The court agreed with the prosecution and sentenced two of them arseny igralov and sergei vnukov to 6 years of enhanced security, and the third danil kozel a year. Not found.
