为海外网诈团伙洗钱数百万美元：42岁双重国籍男子在美认罪
美国司法部10月8日宣布，现年42岁、拥有乌克兰与俄罗斯双重国籍的奥列格·科尔涅夫（Oleg Korniev）已经认罪，承认自己运营了一个遍布全球的洗钱网络，专门为海外网络犯罪分子转移从美国受害者手中骗走的资金。 司法部指出，海外网诈分子先在美国境内锁定受害者、骗取钱财，再通过科尔涅夫运营的洗钱渠道转移赃款。这一业务经手的金额达数百万美元，成为海外诈骗团伙把赃款洗白、跨境转移的重要通道。 科尔涅夫已经认罪，案件后续的量刑程序有待法院安排。近年来，司法部持续打击为网络诈骗提供资金通道的洗钱网络，这类居中转移赃款的中间人已经成为执法重点。（据司法部公告）
Dual Ukrainian-Russian Citizen Pleads Guilty to Laundering Millions for Overseas Cyber Scammers
The U.S. Department of Justice announced on Oct. 8 that Oleg Korniev, 42, a dual Ukrainian-Russian citizen, has pleaded guilty to operating a worldwide money-laundering operation that moved money stolen from U.S. victims by overseas cybercriminals. According to the Justice Department, the overseas fraudsters first targeted victims in the United States and took their money, which was then moved through the laundering channels Korniev operated. Millions of dollars passed through the operation, making it a key conduit for overseas fraud rings to clean their proceeds and move them across borders. Korniev has entered his guilty plea, and sentencing proceedings are to be scheduled by the court. In recent years the Justice Department has kept up pressure on the money-laundering networks that provide money channels for online fraud, and intermediaries who move criminal proceeds have become an enforcement focus.
