US officials have deported a key player in the Russian cybercriminal world who was sentenced to nine years in US prison in 2020 for his alleged role in a scheme that defrauded Americans of millions of dollars, according to the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency. Russian authorities took Burkov into custody after he arrived Tuesday at Moscow’s Sheremetyevo International Airport, according to Russia’s Ministry of Internal Affairs. Before his arrest in 2015, US officials had seen Burkov as a key player in Russia’s cybercriminal underworld, where he allegedly ran a website that facilitated more than $20 million in credit card fraud.
