He was found guilty of stealing the personal data of 100 million people in the United States using hacker attacks.
Tyurin was found guilty on several counts. Ultimately, Judge Laura Swain, who was in charge of the trial, upheld the prosecution and passed a sentence, according to which Tyurin would have to spend 144 months in an American prison. As she believes, Tyurin was involved in "large-scale criminal activities of a financial nature." He is allegedly involved in cyber attacks on large American companies in order to obtain "customer data."
In addition, the Russian must pay US $ 19,214,956, which, according to the court, is exactly what he managed to extract during his criminal activities. A separate hearing on damages is scheduled for April 6, 2021.
"The conditions of detention of a Russian in custody were difficult in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, which A. Tyurin contracted in an American prison. The Russian Consulate General in New York keeps Tyurin's case under control and is in contact with US law enforcement agencies," the consulate said.
The Russian was extradited to the United States from Georgia in September 2018. He is charged with hacking into computer systems, including financial structures, brokerage houses and media that publish financial information. It was noted that for these crimes he could receive up to 92 years in prison.
Initially, the Russian declared his innocence in cybercrimes in September 2018. A year later, he made a deal with the prosecutor's office, pleading guilty on several counts. The US Secret Service claimed that he and his accomplices "embezzled hundreds of millions of dollars."
