Belarusian police gets interested in WebMoney
The organizer of the Belarusian WebMoney system Aleh Bunas and a Navapolatsk dweller are suspected of illegal activities. The woman is accused of getting hold of foreigners’ money by changing information in the network.
The police think that she earned about 39 million BRB like that. This case is a continuation of the previous WebMoney case in Belarus. The Belarusian version of the online payment system was organized by Aleh Bunas in 2000. At that time such activities were not even mentioned in Belarusian laws.
Bunas was sentenced to 2 years of imprisonment for illegal business in 2005. The investigation showed that swindlers got hold of Europeans’ money with the help of Bunas’s system. One of them, Alyaksandr Zhdanau, is sentenced to 9 years of imprisonment. Now an inhabitant of Navapolatsk is accused of the same activities.
