MOSCOW, June 21 (RAPSI) – The Federal Court for the Central District of California has sentenced Russian citizen Irina Fedoseyeva, a defendant in a large-scale cyber fraud case, to 14 months in prison, the court documents available to RAPSI read on Wednesday.

The court also ruled Fedoseyeva to compensate the damage, estimated to make nearly $232,700. She pleaded guilty to use of unauthorized access devices and prosecutors asked to sentence her to 21 months in prison.

Earlier, the court sentenced another defendant, Timur Safin, to three years in prison and obliged him to pay victims $250,000 in compensation. Safin’s lawyer said that this is the first breach of the law by his client and that he may be deported to Russia after serving his time despite having a legally obtained permanent residence in the United States. Safin has pleaded guilty to aggravated identity theft and use of unauthorized access devices.

The criminal case reached the court in April 2016. Other defendants are Russian nationals Irina Fedoseyeva, Dmitry Fedoseyev, Christina Gerasimova and Belorussian national Sergey Patapau.

The indictment reads that Safin, Fedoseyev, Fedoseyeva and Patapau fraudulently got access to credit cards with limits of up to $5,000,000 and used those to obtain luxurious products for later resale or exchange.

During the searches, law enforcement officers found hundreds of fake credit cards and equipment for their production as well as personal data of legal bank accounts owners used for production of credit cards. The U.S. Ministry of Justice estimates damage caused by the fraud from $3,000,000 to $5,000,000.
