San Francisco, March 21 (Ians) A court in Nevada has sentenced Russian citizen Sergey Medvedev to 10 years in jail for being a part of a transnational cybercrime enterprise engaged in mass acquisition and sale of fraud-related goods and services, including stolen identities, compromised credit card data, computer malware, and other contraband.

Medvedev was sentenced for his role in a criminal group known as Infraud Organization which victimised millions of people in all 50 states of the US and caused more than $568 million in financial losses, the US Department of Justice said in a statement on Friday.

Along with Medvedev, the US court sentenced Marko Leopard, 31, of North Macedonia, to five years in jail as part of the Infraud case.
