This alert is issued in connection with the investigation of a large scale fraud perpetrated in March - April 2020 against exporters and traders of boric acid originating from Russia. The fraud resulted in mis-routing of payments for the chemical products exported from Russia, to the accounts of Unique Alliance Trade Ltd, a sham company set up by the fraudsters in the UK to be similarly named with the legitimate exporter of the goods. Over 1,5 million USD was stolen in the course of the fraud. Mr. Igor Alexandrovich Kuznetzov, the manager of the exporting company who personally issued fraudulent payment re-routing instructions to the trading counterparty purportedly on behalf of his employer, absconded immediately after the fraud. In mis-routing the funds and their subsequent laundering he was assisted by Mr. Vitaliy Kechik, citizen of Ukraine who set up the mirror-named sham company in the UK.
This matter is filed for investigation with the appropriate authority and other action is being taken to retrieve the stolen funds and to bring the perpetrators of the fraud to justice.
