He was found guilty of stealing the personal data of 100 million people in the United States through hacker attacks.
Tyurin was found guilty on several counts. Ultimately, Judge Laura Swain, who handled the case, upheld the prosecution and handed down a sentence that would see Tyurin 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 the US $19,214,956, which is exactly the profit that the court believes he managed to extract during his criminal activities. A separate hearing on damages is scheduled for April 6, 2021.
"The conditions of detention of the Russian citizen 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 is monitoring the Tyurin case 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 computer systems, including financial institutions, brokerage firms and media outlets that publish financial information. It was noted that for these crimes he could get up to 92 years in prison.
Initially, the Russian declared his innocence in cybercrime in September 2018. A year later, he made a deal with the prosecutor's office, pleading guilty to several charges. The US Secret Service claimed that he and his accomplices "embezzled hundreds of millions of dollars."
