New York ( CNN ) -- A man federal authorities say is part of a Brooklyn husband-and-wife identity theft team has been charged with killing two of their victims . Dmitriy Yakovlev , 42 , is scheduled to be arraigned Monday in U.S. District Court in Brooklyn . The more serious charges were included in a supserseding indictment unsealed Thursday . Yakovlev was charged with the murder of Irina Malezhik , a Russian language translator who lived in Brooklyn and worked in the federal courts . She vanished in October 2007 . He also is accused in the slaying of Viktor Alekseyev , who disappeared in December 2005 and whose remains were found in New Jersey in 2006 , according to federal authorities . A third identity theft victim , Brooklyn resident Michael Klein , disappeared in November 2003 and has not been seen since . In addition to Yakovlev 's murder charges , the new indictment charges him and wife Julia Yakovlev , 36 , with 17 counts of identity theft , bank fraud , credit card fraud and `` effecting fraudulent transactions . '' Julie Yakovlev was not charged in connection with the slayings but she has been accused of cashing $ 40,000 drawn from one victim 's account , according to Robert Nardoza , spokesman for the U.S. Attorney 's Office for the Eastern District of New York . The couple was originally charged in August 2009 with illegally using the identities of three people between 2003 and 2007 . Julie Takovlev is free on bail while her husband remains in custody , their attorneys said . `` Identity theft victims usually lose their money , '' NYPD Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said in a statement , `` In this case , they allegedly lost their lives , too . '' Malezhik was last seen on October 15 , 2007 , leaving her apartment on a security video camera . Immediately after her disappearance , the couple began withdrawing money and purchasing various items in Malezhik 's name , according to court documents . `` I 'm skeptical as to the foundation and nature of charges , '' said Ken Russo , attorney for Dmitriy Yakovlev . Julia Yakovlev 's attorney , Alexei Grosshtern , would only tell CNN that there are `` no new charges '' against his client . He said any charges in the superseding indictment already existed in August 2009 's original indictment .
