Employees of the Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation for the Krasnoyarsk Territory began an investigation into the fact that an employee of an energy sales company had received a bribe, and learned that he helped organize the work of several mining farms in the village of Boguchany and the village of Gremuchiy.
The head of the commercial energy metering service of the Angarsk branch of the KrasEco company helped two men place equipment for cryptocurrency mining for a fee of 760,000 rubles. The employee did not document the connection of mining equipment to the network, allowing the use of electricity without accounting, writing off excess consumption as losses.
During searches, operatives from the department of economic security and anti-corruption of the regional police seized four computers, video surveillance equipment, routers, modems, cell phones and 197 pieces of mining equipment from farms.
The Investigative Committee has opened criminal cases and the investigation is ongoing. The issue of choosing a preventive measure for an employee of an energy company is being decided.
Power engineers from the Dagestan branch of Rosseti Northern Caucasus stopped 18 cases of electricity theft by farms for the extraction of cryptocurrencies in January-March 2024.
