NEW YORK, April 12. /TASS/. Russian national Denis Dubnikov, who was earlier extradited to the United States on charges of money laundering, has been sentenced to an already served term of imprisonment and a $10,000 fine, according to the sentence posted by Oregon District Court where the proceeding took place.

Earlier, Dubnikov pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit money laundering.

The US Department of Justice reported last August that Dubnikov had been extradited from the Netherlands to the United States. The American authorities accused him of money laundering for a group of cybercriminals who used Ryuk ransomware, according to the report. In July 2019, the Russian national laundered some $400,000 in proceeds from ransomware attacks in the United States and abroad, the prosecution said.

After being extradited from the Netherlands Dubnikov was released before the verdict’s announcement on condition that he committed no crime, did not leave Oregon’s four districts and appeared at court sessions.

The Russian national faced up to 20 years in prison and a fine worth up to $500,000.
