Text

At the initiative of the Prosecutor General's Office of the Russian Federation, Russian citizen Zair Syamiullin has been deported from the United States of America. He is accused under Part 4 of Article 159 of the Russian Criminal Code (fraud on an especially large scale).

According to the investigation, the accused misled the victim and proposed she invest funds in allegedly profitable business projects in food production and plastic pipes. In 2010 and 2012, the woman transferred over 123 million rubles to the perpetrator. After this, Syamiullin disappeared and failed to return the funds.

At the instruction of Russia's Prosecutor General's Office, he was declared internationally wanted.

After information was received about US competent authorities considering his violation of US immigration laws, Russia's Prosecutor General's Office promptly provided the necessary materials to our foreign colleagues.

Today, at Moscow's Domodedovo Airport, he was detained by Russian law enforcement to face criminal charges.
