Spammer investigated in the Ukraine

The investigation began after a representative of a local ISP logged a complaint with the police department responsible for economic crimes, saying that the ISP's network was being flooded with spam. If found guilty, the spammer faces a fine of $1600-$3200 or up to three years imprisonment.
