Moscow police have detained three members of a criminal gang for illegally carrying out transactions totaling more than 30 billion rubles ($960 million), a police spokesman said on Monday.
A Moscow bank manager and “two jobless citizens” set up shell companies to carry out “unlicensed operations with cash,” including currency exchange, money transfers and cash deliveries, Roman Mikhailov said.
He did not elaborate on the date of the detention.
The detainees face up to seven years in jail and a fine of up to 1 million rubles if found guilty.
