Russian police are reported to have filed a criminal case against a man accused of being one of the world's most prolific spammers.
Igor Gusev's spam empire said to have earned over $100m
Igor Gusev and his company Despmedia are accused of running a huge pharmaceutical spam operation that police estimate generated $120m (£75m) in three and a half years, primarily by selling counterfeit pharmaceuticals such as Viagra.
Russia's Federal Security Service closed down the spamdot.biz web site last year, which was reportedly run by Glavmed.com, which was controlled by Despmedia.
