[HIGHLIGHTS] RBC: FSB is conducting an inspection of QIWI Bank

Employees of the Federal Security Service (FSB) are conducting an inspection of QIWI Bank. The check is being carried out regarding the possible transfer abroad of funds obtained illegally.

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 QI WI Bank, which remained without a license, transferred stolen funds in favor of illegal financial services. On February 21, the central bank revoked the license of the bank.
