RBC reports this with reference to sources familiar with the situation.

It is noted that the check is being carried out regarding the possible transfer abroad of funds obtained illegally. 

As one of the portal’s interlocutors clarified, the check is carried out by employees of the “K” department of the FSB of Russia.

It is stated that one of the reasons for the inspection was the increase in the number of telephone and IT fraud, including from Ukrainian territory.

Earlier, the Central Bank of Russia stated that QIWI Bank, which remained without a license, transferred stolen funds in favor of illegal financial services.

On February 21, the Central Bank of Russia revoked the license of QIWI Bank.
