The Lithuanian citizen Aleksej Besciokov, a sought -after criminal in the United States because of the conspiracy for washing proceeds from illegal activities arrested by the Kerala police, permitted transactions of dirty money associated with cybercriminals and fraudsters, although he personally identified them, showed the Ministry of Justice. He was handed over to the CBI on Saturday. The Kerala police arrested him in a coordinated operation with the CBI on March 12 from a host family in Varkala.

The district court's court document for the eastern district of Virginia shows that Besciokov and Aleksandr Mira Serda are charged with conspiracy to commit money laundering, conspiracy against the law on the international emergency economy and conspiracy for the participation of a united cash service business. According to court documents, Besciokov and Serda have gained little or no information about their customers. Many people were allowed to operate without verified basic information about identities, place and business.

According to the court document, they used Garantex to exchange cryptocurrency to wash the proceeds from criminal activities such as ransomware, computer hacking, narcotics transactions. Some reports about Garantex have been registered with customers who use the names “drug”, “God” and “Taliban”. He even identified two different accounts to transfer funds from a North Korean cyber threat gang, from which it was assumed that they were operated by the North Korean government and was sanctioned in 2019 by the Office of Foreign Assets Control.

While Besciokov the Kerala police said that he was just an employee, the court identifies him as Garantex and his responsibilities as administrator to maintain and maintain a critical guarantee infrastructure and to preserve and approved transactions. They had processed millions of dollars from the Russian-speaking online criminal forum used by elite cyber criminals from Darknet markets that specialize in drug sales and sexual abuse material from children.

He intended to meet a friend in the evening in the evening. Besciokov did not reveal any details of the person he was supposed to meet in Goa that day. His wife and 10-year-old son traveled to Moscow on March 12 in the morning, said a high-ranking police officer who was connected to the arrest.

He told the police that he had come to Kerala on leisure trips in the past fifteen years. However, the pass details showed that his visits to Kerala began five years ago. He was also in Chennai and Kochi, said the police. He initially concluded an annual contract with a homeowner in Varkala by 1 Lakh and the latest contract was extended at 5 Lakh.

Two names; Alexander and Romanov are also examined by the police. It must also be found whether it was the same Alexander who is charged with Besciokov in the USA in the USA. While the police identified three Keralites who had space to maintain, a SIM card and another help for Besciokov, the officials said that they did not seem to be involved in illegal activities.

The residents of Varkala said that they remember Besciokov from his unique hairstyle. “Everyone, his wife, his boy and himself, have kept their minds like a football. They often traveled in a rented two -wheeler and you could always identify them with their hairstyle,” said Dhanya, who stays near Besciokov near the home chair, where Besciokov was arrested.
