Wearing leather boots and skin- tight jeans, she wept during her court appearance. She is charged with conspiracy to commit bank fraud and false use of passports.
If convicted, she could be jailed for up to 40 years. In total, 37 people have been accused in New York over an east Europe plan to use an Internet virus to siphon money from the online accounts of small businesses and individuals.
Svechinskaya was one of four students at New York University said to have acted as ‘ money mules’ by opening hundreds of accounts.
Prosecutors claim she opened at least five bank accounts to receive the stolen money.
British police are also investigating the fraud and arrested 11 east Europeans in Essex last month.
They have been charged with fraud and money- laundering offences amounting to £ 6million. The FBI said some of the accounts drained by the alleged fraudsters were with London- based HSBC. More suspects have been arrested in Ukraine, leading federal officers to describe the case as ‘ one of the largest cyber criminal cases’ they have dealt with.
