Artur Jermolajev, aged 35, is reported to have managed a significant international fraud operation known as “Cosmo,” which reportedly comprised over 50 illegal call centers. According to one portal, the majority of these centers were situated in Kyiv, and Jermolajev was identified as the primary investor. The Estonian police, as quoted by the delfi.lt portal, stated that Jermolajev was responsible for founding these companies and continued to sell call center equipment through a franchise model.
Information from the portal indicated that an initiative originating in Estonia resulted in searches across five countries in April 2022. These nations included the Netherlands, Latvia, France, Germany, and Finland. During these searches, authorities seized critical materials, including the fraudsters’ staff databases, accounting records, internal correspondence, and reports detailing the stolen funds.
The article also mentioned a wave of violent incidents that occurred in Kyiv on a Saturday. The focus of the reporting, however, remained on the dismantling of the “Cosmo” network orchestrated by Artur Jermolajev. The details suggest a coordinated international effort to uncover and seize evidence related to the large-scale fraudulent activities associated with Jermolajev’s operations.
