Police and the PCCOCS prosecutors carried out 15 searches on Thursday in several localities across the country. The actions target a case of voter bribery, illegal party financing, and money laundering involving the criminal organization “Shor.”
According to the investigation, the group was transferring and distributing money through the mobile application of a Russian bank under international sanctions. During the searches, authorities seized cash, phones, laptops, documents, and lists of people paid to participate in protests.
Investigators also identified the use of the “Taito” application, where citizens enter their personal data, as well as payment methods via Telegram. On the same platform, group members received instructions from the Russian Federation regarding the distribution of propaganda and disinformation messages.
