Pravda.Ru: A group of fraudsters who allegedly stole more than $500,000 from U.S. accounts at ATMs in Moscow have been arrested. Spokespeople for U.S. law-enforcement agencies asked the Moscow Interior Affairs Department for help several months ago. Russian investigators have charged four Muscovites - two former bank employees and two students. Police said the four are suspected of cooperating with criminal groups in the United States, Canada and France.
