That article is about forging/counterfeiting cards/cheques/whatever that's not cash but can be used for payment, so... what is funny about that?
It's like arresting Al Capone for tax evasion.
I imagine it's just the immediately actionable(?) accusation: "as well as electronic means, electronic information carriers, technical devices, computer programs intended for illegal acceptance, issuance, transfer of funds" — most likely the "Extortion" will be thrown in later as well, but since those extorted are abroad... there may be some processual difficulties, getting the affidavits and all that.
