THE PICTURE▸
Public, independently verifiable data on fraud in Belarus is limited, and official statistics are not published in a form suitable for a sourced breakdown. The best-documented cases involve Belarusian nationals prosecuted abroad over crypto money laundering, such as Aliaksandr Klimenka, charged by US prosecutors in connection with the BTC-e exchange (DOJ, 2023). Western sanctions and the breakdown in law-enforcement cooperation since 2020 make cross-border fraud cases harder to pursue.
