How a part-time job turned into a criminal case for a Minsk resident
A 25-year-old resident of Minsk was looking for a part-time job in the messenger's thematic groups and came across an advert, the author of which was ready to purchase a bank card and a Belarusian mobile operator number for cryptocurrency transactions.
Having responded to the ad, the Minsk resident opened accounts in two banks, got a SIM card and gave the employer all the data, including his authentication data.
A few days later, the employer reported that one of the cards had been blocked by the bank, which suspected fraudulent activity.
The young man agreed to go to the bank and unblock the card. At the bank, the guy was told that his activity was illegal and that he needed to contact the police immediately.
The Minsk resident’s actions were classified under Part 1 of Article 222 of the Criminal Code (illegal distribution, for selfish reasons, of authentication data through which access to accounts can be gained).
The young man admitted his guilt and repented. The case is currently in the Frunzensky District Court of the capital.
