MOSCOW, October 10 (RAPSI) - An additional 11 cyber fraud charges will be
brought against Russian national Roman Seleznev on October 16 in Seattle,
spokeswoman for Washington’s Western District attorney Emily Langley told
RIA Novosti on Friday.
A pretrial hearing on Seleznev’s case is scheduled for November 3.
Langley could not say how the additional charges might influence the
sentence if Seleznev is found guilty. "The potential prison term is
impacted by a number of things," she explained. " the number of counts or
the maximum penalties they carry. The characteristics of the crime and of
the individual defendant are factors considered by the judge at
sentencing." She added that at this point Seleznev has not been convicted
of anything so it is premature to make assumptions about the sentence.
An additional 11 counts were added to the previous 29 counts, the US
Department of Justice announced yesterday.
Moscow-born Roman Seleznev, 30, the son of Liberal Democratic Party State
Duma lawmaker Valery Seleznev, has been charged with hacking into retail
cash register systems to install malicious software to steal credit card
numbers, and with operating servers and international carding forum
websites to facilitate the theft and sale of stolen credit card data. He
was arrested in the Maldive Islands and taken to Guam, an unincorporated
US territory in the western Pacific.
