A Russian IT specialist named Yuri Belyenky has been detained after an investigation into cryptocurrency transfers via Binance.

The investigation claims that from January 2023 to March 2024, Belyenky transferred cryptocurrency to finance the Armed Forces of Ukraine and an organization recognized as terrorist in Russia.

According to Reuters, Russian law enforcement requested Belyenky's transaction history from Binance, and the obtained information was then included in the criminal case materials.

The total amount of cryptocurrency transferred by Belyenky exceeded $700, according to the Investigative Committee.
