According to him, "the legalization of money is impossible without the commission of another crime, as a result of which the funds received must be washed."
“Where did this money come from? As a result of theft, trade in illegal goods, drugs, weapons? By itself, the 174th article cannot exist. We must first bring a case against some other crime, and only after that we can investigate legalization, ”he said.
Earlier, the Investigative Committee opened a criminal case on the laundering of about 1 billion rubles, which financed the non-profit organization Anti-Corruption Fund (FBK).
Also, the UK said that banks received court orders to arrest the accounts of FBK and the "Protection of Citizens' Rights", as well as more than 100 accounts of individuals and legal entities.
