₽800M Laundered Through Crypto in Krasnoyarsk?

The Prosecutor’s Office announced ongoing investigations into ₽800M laundering cases involving Bitcoin mining. Most transactions were conducted via farms hooked to power lines unrecorded. Police confiscated 197 devices and a $10M container in the process.

Operators allegedly transferred mined coins to foreign exchanges and cashed out via third-party services. Suspects may have operated across several Krasnoyarsk districts.

Local authorities are calling for tighter oversight of sudden electricity usage surges. The investigation is underway, and more suspects may soon be implicated.
