We know that cybercrime is transnational and borderless.
The place where a cybercrime is committed is the place where the consequences or material damage occurred. For example, a city in which a data center attacked by a DDos attack is located, a compromised computer, server, network device, a storage medium encrypted by a ransomware virus containing data or a computer program, etc.
Thus, the pre-trial investigation is carried out by the pre-trial investigation body (investigative body), in the territory of which the said victim is located.
It can be either an individual — a citizen of any state, or a legal entity — from an entrepreneur to large corporations who have suffered damage from cybercrime.
Therefore, investigating a cybercrime committed in the United States, for example, the involvement of a person who is located in China, France, Ukraine or any other country can be established.
In practice, there are enough examples when such a person is charged by the competent US authority and he is put on the international wanted list.
And after the capture, extradition to the United States takes place.
In order to provide professional legal assistance to the specified person by a lawyer, he must have the appropriate permits and licenses.
Our partner — a cybercrime lawyer practicing in the United States — Igor Litvak has the necessary powers and competencies for this and is ready to take a transnational case into teamwork.
