Earlier, the court already sentenced the son of State Duma deputy Valery Seleznev to 27 years in prison for cyber fraud. The US Department of Justice on September 8 stated that Seleznev confessed to two new episodes.

The Russian in 2008 took part in the cashing of funds after the hacking of the company that performs money transfers. In addition, he is accused of involvement in the abduction of these credit cards together with a group of hackers. The damage for this episode is estimated at more than $ 50 million.

Seleznev was detained by US special services in 2014 in the Maldives. In April 2017, the jury sentenced him to 27 years in prison. The prosecutor's office determined that Seleznev's actions affected 3,700 different financial institutions, more than 500 companies around the world and millions of credit card holders. The Russian embassy in the US then protested in connection with the verdict. Father Seleznev, a State Duma deputy from the LDPR, called the detention of his son "kidnapping".
