The FBI released the below information:
The FBI, in partnership with
the U.S. Department of State’s Transnational Organized Crime (TOC) Rewards
Program, announced today a reward of up to $5 million for information leading
to the arrest and/or conviction of Semion Mogilevich, wanted for his alleged
participation in a scheme that defrauded thousands of investors out of more
than $150 million.
Mogilevich
was federally indicted in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania, in 2002 and 2003. The charges against him include racketeering,
securities fraud, wire fraud, mail fraud, and money laundering.
The
indictments allege that between 1993 and 1998, Mogilevich headed and controlled
the Mogilevich Enterprise, an association which consisted of numerous
individuals and a network of companies in more than 20 different countries that
orchestrated a sophisticated scheme to defraud investors in stock. The scheme
was allegedly funded and authorized by Mogilevich. This complex network of
corporations was set up to create the illusion of a profitable international
business.
Semion
Mogilevich is described as a white male, 5’6” to 5’7”, 290 pounds, balding,
with gray hair and green eyes. He was born on June 30, 1946, in Kyiv, Ukraine,
but also uses July 5, 1946, as an alias date of birth. Mogilevich has Russian,
Ukrainian, and Israeli passports. His current residence is believed to be in
Moscow, Russia.
The
U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania and the Justice
Department’s Organized Crime and Gang Section (OCGS) of the Department’s
Criminal Division are prosecuting the case.
Individuals with information on Mogilevich that could be helpful to investigators are asked to contact the FBI at 1-800-CALL-FBI, via WhatsApp (neither a government-operated nor government-controlled platform) at 215-839-6844, or online at tips.fbi.gov. All identities are kept strictly confidential.
