It is specified that one of them is accused of fraud. According to the investigation, the defendant and his accomplices generated QR codes to pay for purchases and canceled the operation after receiving money into their accounts. Thus, they stole 267 million rubles.

The second attacker is accused of attempted bribery. It is noted that the defendant acted in the interests of one of the commercial organizations of the Altai Territory. He transferred a bribe worth more than 37.3 million rubles to a certain official through an intermediary.

Both attackers escaped from law enforcement agencies abroad, but were later detained.
