The court extended the arrest of ChronoPay founder Vrublevsky for three months

The Khamovnicheskiy District Court of Moscow has extended the arrest of Pavel Vrublevsky, founder of the ChronoPay processing company, accused of fraud, theft, money laundering and money laundering. This was reported on September 25 by a correspondent of Izvestia from the courtroom.

Vrublevsky will remain in custody until January 2, 2026, as will another person involved in the case, ChronoPay employee Alexei Belyaev. In addition, the house arrest was extended to employee Nadezhda Akimova.

During the hearing, Vrublevsky and Belyaev requested that the measure of restraint be changed to an obligation to appear. Akimova, in turn, asked to change her house arrest to a written undertaking not to leave.

Vrublevsky was detained on March 10, 2022. The businessman, along with ChronoPay employees, posted false information online, offering financial rewards for participating in surveys and for successfully forecasting the exchange rate and stocks. In addition, he encouraged Internet users to participate in trading on the stock exchange and other similar operations, promising people earnings. As a result of the searches in the ChronoPay case, about $350,000 and 100 units of servers and computer equipment were seized.

On March 12 of the same year, the Moscow Meshchansky court arrested Vrublevsky and three more of his accomplices. They were charged with especially large-scale fraud and theft under Part 4 of Article 159, paragraph "a" of Part 4 of Article 158 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.

Later, on July 24, 2024, the court arrested Pavel Vrublevsky's son Peter in absentia on charges of intentionally destroying other people's property (Part 2 of Article 167 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation).
