Belarus seeks international arrest for the owner of the country’s “largest crypto exchanger.”
Belarus Issues International Arrest Warrant for Owner of Country’s ‘Largest Crypto Exchanger’
During that period, Kuchinsky and his “representatives” used the platform to facilitate the purchase and sale of “digital signs ,” the legal term used to define cryptocurrencies under Belarusian law, with fiat cash and non-cash payments. They also offered exchange between cryptocurrencies, the Investigative Committee of Belarus explained this week.
The officials in Minsk also pointed out that the suspects used anonymization tools, SIM cards registered under fake identities, and accounts on foreign crypto platforms which allowed them to stay under the radar. Eventually, investigators were able to identify all participants in the crypto trading scheme, intercept their correspondence with clients, and trace their money transfers.
With assistance from Moscow, Belarus obtained a database with information about 2,000 of Bitok’s clients whose activities are also under investigation. Those who made the largest transactions, exceeding $50,000 in fiat equivalent, have been interrogated, the Investigative Department said.
