Three Estonians jailed for malware spree that infected 4 MILLION computers

The Russian national has an Estonian name. But yes, the other surnames names are Russian and Ukrainian.

As for the ethnic Russian diaspora - at the collapse of the Soviet Union they automatically received citizenship of the country in which they were registered. They do not have citizenship of the Russian Federation and do not have rights to migrate there. In recent years it has become more difficult to get residency in Russia for the diaspora.

One of the reasons that the Baltics are concerned about their security is that they have ensured that the local Russian community has no reason to be loyal to the state - and often they are not able to move back to the mother country.

Prosecutors always massively overestimate the haul of any crime, these poor lambs might have only have a million or 2 each when they get out in around 18 months.

You're not alone in your dyslexia I misread Dmitiri Jegorov as Dmitiri Legover at first glance. Too early for a pint!

Re: Let's do the maths

Is it like the UK where they count the same money multiple times and add it all together?

For example, if the three people jointly received the money, they are each treated as individually receiving the full amount.

If the money passed through multiple accounts before reaching them, they add together all the transfers in to each of the accounts but don't deduct the transfers out.

If they receive an asset other than cash, they add together the value of the asset and the sale proceeds from selling it.
