Jan 14, Colombo: Britain's Serious Organsied Crime Agency (SOCA) today arrested a Sri Lankan native Renukanth Subramaniam, 33, for operating an on-line crime network that allowed criminals to exchange stolen credit cards and other information stealing millions.
A judge at Blackfriars Crown Court ordered to remand Subramaniam after pleading guilty to conspiracy to defraud and five counts of furnishing false information.
Subramaniam pleaded guilty on Wednesday to one count of conspiracy to defraud and five charges of furnishing false information.
Subramaniam, who was born in Colombo and became a naturalised in the UK in September 2002, was accused of running a secretive website called "Facebook for fraudsters" where the criminals can share the stolen information.
He was reportedly a senior figure in the operations of DarkMarket, a cybercrime site for thousands of identity thieves, credit card swindlers, and login data stealers. The site was later infiltrated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation of the U. S, and SOCA of Britain. The site was disbanded in October 2008.
