New Delhi: A Ukraine national wanted by the US in the largest credit card fraud ever was arrested by CBI at the Indira Gandhi International airport on Saturday. Sergey Storchak hacked into accounts and sold information of over 40 million credit and debit card numbers.
Storchak and 10 other cyber criminals, belonging to various nationalities, have been accused of carrying out what the US department of justice calls the “single largest and most complex identity theft case ever”. The international fraud involves 3 Americans, 2 Ukrainians, 2 Chinese, 1 Estonian, 1 Belarusian and an unidentified suspect known only by his online nickname “Delpiero”.
“Storchak, facing a Red Corner Notice, was taken into custody the moment he arrived from Goa on Saturday night,” a CBI official said. Airport security personnel identified him and handed him over to the CBI Interpol team.
