11 Kazakhstan students got involved into fraud in the U.S., Express K writes. They were laundering money illegally received by Russian citizen Pyotr Murmylyuk from trustful Americans. Murmylyuk opened a website allegedly helping people to find jobs. Around 100 people filled in the applications on the website. The criminal used the people’s personal information to make fake tax declarations. Using the nuances of American legislation, he was receiving compensations from the state. The Russian citizen managed to earn around $500 thousand this way. The criminal used Kazakhstan students for cashing out the money. The students opened several accounts in different banks around the country and gave the password and other information to the Russian citizen. Pyotr Murmylyuk may be sentenced to 15 years in jail for his crimes. The charges have been raised against Kazakhstan students as well, but it is yet unknown what their sentence could be.
