Unveiling a Telegram-Based Money Laundering Scheme
Moscow Exchange has uncovered a sophisticated money laundering operation that exploits the Telegram messaging platform.
The scheme involves the following steps:
1. Illicit funds are deposited into a brokerage account.
2. These funds are used to acquire low-liquidity shares.
3. A network of Telegram channels artificially inflates the value of these shares.
4. The legal entity holding the purchased securities transfers them to an individual through a fictitious sale agreement.
5. A private investor purchases the shares at the inflated price, generating scheinly legitimate income.
6. This income is then withdrawn from the brokerage account, completing the money laundering process.
