Spammer investigated in the Ukraine

Spammer undergoes criminal investigation in the Donetsk region of the Ukraine

A spammer is undergoing criminal investigation in the Donetsk region of the Ukraine. This is the first case of spamming to be pursued by the countries law enforcement authorities following amendments to the Criminal Procedures Code which came into force earlier this year.

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.
