The prosecution is asking for a temporary eleven-year jail sentence for each of the three people—two men and one woman—who are suspected of being part of a criminal group that was involved in fraud, document forgery, and money laundering.
The indictment says that the events happened between 2017 and 2019, a time when the defendants were said to have been experts at opening bank accounts with stolen, fake, or illegally obtained documents.
The defendants used these accounts to transfer and deposit substantial sums of money from unidentified third parties, from which they later withdrew it. To make it harder to find the money, these withdrawals were made either through ATMs or by moving money to other bank accounts.
The Public Prosecutor’s Office believes that the facts show ongoing crimes of fraud and falsifying official documents, as well as crimes of joining a criminal group and money laundering. Because of this, they are asking for the same prison sentence for each of the defendants, as well as any civil liabilities that may come up in the case.
