Indian authorities arrested Lithuanian Alexey Beshekov (Beschokov), who is being sought by the United States for organizing the cryptocurrency exchange Garantex, through which 96 billion dollars were laundered. The exchange allowed criminal groups, including terrorists and drug traffickers, to launder money. In response to US sanctions, Betsiokov changed the structure of the exchange to avoid punishment. US authorities are expecting his extradition for legal proceedings, which will be an important step in the fight against global money laundering and the financing of criminal activity.
