They are used to conduct illegal transactions or transactions in the "gray" sector of the economy, for example, in online casinos and when purchasing cryptocurrencies. Usually we are not talking about criminals, but about ordinary citizens. As a rule, the accounts of droppers who cash out someone's illegal income do not contain any previously committed suspicious transactions that could attract the attention of the regulator.

A typical portrait of a Russian dropper looks like this: it is a young man under the age of 23 from regions with low incomes. According to the estimates of the Central Bank, their number is about 700 thousand people.
The Central Bank of the Russian Federation, together with Rosfinmonitoring and banks, is working to create a single portal for monitoring dropper operations. The system will provide centralized transmission of data on questionable transactions of individuals to financial institutions to limit the operations of such clients. The maximum penalty for dropping provided for by Russian law is 7 years in prison and a fine of up to 1 million rubles.
Earlier, we reported that the Ministry of Finance has developed a package of measures to protect citizens from fraudsters.
