The Israeli Gal Barak was sentenced to four years in prison in the Vienna Cybercrime Trials ("#VCT"). The court ordered that the seized funds and assets be used for restitution payments to the victims. Currently, this is a few million and thus only a fraction of the stolen funds. Millions of the Gal Barak's scams were processed via the Austrian-Ukraine payment processor Fondy, which is controlled by the former head of the Vienna Stock Exchange Stefan Zapotocky.

The Israeli scammer and cybercriminal Gal Barak was sentenced to four years in prison on September 1, 2020 for investment fraud and money laundering. Now the victims of the various scams of his Bulgarian-Israeli cybercrime organization can assert their claims. The money for this must now be found. It has been laundered with the help of negligent or intentional banks and payment processors like Payvision. The authorities followed the money and recorded its trace in detail. Barak's partners Gery Shalon and Vladislav Smirnov were also uncovered.

Gal Barak was extradited to Austria and was awaiting his trial. He was charged with investment fraud and money laundering. Hence, one concludes that his defense counsel is particularly sensitive to the issue of money laundering and potential asset misappropriation. Wrong thought. We are talking about the Israeli citizen Gal Barak and his also charged wife, the Bulgarian citizen Marina Barak.
