Last week Federal law enforcement agents arrested Vitaly Khaytovich, 24, of West Hollywood (formerly of Belarus) in a scheme designed to avoid federal reporting requirements on currency transactions over $10,000 from the sale of black market drugs.
The bust was made as one of 10 people were taken in after federal officials unsealed an indictment alleging that 17 people were involved in just under $9 million worth of structured currency transactions designed to avoid federal reporting requirements.
According to the indictment, Mr. Khaytovich and 16 others had, from the beginning of 2009 through April 2011, structured cash withdrawals to avoid the federal currency transaction reporting requirement that requires domestic banks to report any currency transaction of more than $10,000.
The indictment lists 251 instances of structured transactions totaling $8,980,900.
The FBI says that the scheme was allegedly orchestrated by two principals of a Philadelphia-based company called Independent Wholesale Drug, Inc. (IWD)—Peter Kats, 31, of Beverly Hills, and Aziz Nurhan, 30, of North Hollywood.
Mr. Kats and nine other defendants were arrested in last week’s sweep. Mr. Nurhan agreed to surrender to federal authorities the following day.
The agencies involved in the investigation were IRS-Criminal Investigation, the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the United States Postal Inspection Service.
The firm, began in 2007 under Messrs. Kats and Nurhan, allegedly used the illegal transactions to cover tracks made by the purchase of products on the black market which were then sold to other pharmaceutical wholesalers, who in turn sold the pharmaceuticals to retailers.
In addition to Messrs. Khaytovich, Kats and Nurhan, the other 14 defendants named in the indictment are:
Vladlen Botvinsky, 35, of Los Angeles;
Murad Magomedgadzhiev, 28, of Reseda, who is currently in federal custody;
Guseyn Magomedgadzhiev, 27, of Reseda, Murad’s brother, who is currently a fugitive;
Areg Bezik, 23, of Glendale;
Pavel Groysman, 32, of Studio City;
Ruslan Magomedgadzhiev, 32, of Reseda, the brother of Murad and Guseyn, who is currently a fugitive;
Izumrud Magomedgadzhiyeva, 37, of Reseda, the sister of Murad, Guseyn and Ruslan;
Alexander Makhtin, 41, of Sherman Oaks;
Lev Monoshevich, 27, of Los Angeles;
Inna Koval, 26, of Los Angeles;
Alexander Sherif, 32, of San Diego;
Armen Aperian, 34, a fugitive who is believed to be residing outside of the United States;
Aelita Kuliyeva, 32, a fugitive who is believed to be residing outside of the United States; and
Andre Beziki, 55, of Glendale, who was not arrested because he died earlier this year.
The arrested defendants, mostly first generation immigrants from the Caucasus region states of Dagestan, Armenia and Azerbaijan southwest of Russia, were arraigned late last week in United States District Court in Los Angeles.
All 17 defendants named in the indictment are charged with conspiracy, which carries a maximum statutory sentence of five years in federal prison.
Messrs. Kats and Nurhan additionally are charged with a felony structuring violation which carries a maximum sentence of 10 years’ imprisonment.
In a separate indictment also unsealed today, Mr. Kats is charged with seven counts of bank fraud stemming from a scheme to defraud two separate credit card companies, American Express Centurion Bank (AMEX) and American Express, FSB (AMEX FSB).
According to this second indictment, Kats falsely represented to AMEX and AMEX FSB that he was an active duty member of the United States Air Force and qualified for benefits under the Servicemember Civil Relief Act for the time period of June 17, 2011 through November 17, 2012.
He further misrepresented that all charges incurred on the AMEX and AMEX FSB Credit Card accounts after June 17, 2011 were the result of identity theft. In reliance on his false statements that he was an active duty member of the military and had been the victim of identity theft, AMEX and AMEX FSB waived more than $40,000 in fees and charges that Mr. Kats had incurred.
If convicted of all seven counts of bank fraud, Mr. Kats would face a statutory maximum sentence of 30 years’ imprisonment.
