In mid-January, Anatoly Legkodimov, founder of the Bitzlato crypto exchange, was arrested in the United States. The country’s Ministry of Finance accuses this trading platform of laundering criminal proceeds.
On February 6, Bitzlato co-founder Anton Shkurenko was arrested in Moscow at the request of Interpol.
According to CoinDesk, the detainee was released after questioning. He told reporters that he had nothing to do with the criminal operations. However, he refused to disclose details of the investigation.
