The Presnensky Court in Moscow found the former Slovak Slovan Bratislava hockey player Igor Musatov guilty of cryptocurrency fraud on a particularly large scale.
According to RBK, citing the court’s press service, he was sentenced to four years in a general-regime penal colony.
Musatov himself did not admit guilt.
Earlier, the suspect was detained last year in connection with a Bitcoin fraud case worth $800,000.
According to investigators, in 2018 he arranged to sell cryptocurrency to entrepreneur V. M. Abelyan, but the bitcoins were never received by him.
