Several countries, many apartments and dozens of deceived Germans – all this is the result of a large-scale scam of an attacker.
On October 6, Europol on Tenerife Island arrested a Croatian citizen suspected of using a fake website to impersonate a Swiss investment company and fraud worth 5 million euros.
A 50-year-old suspect whose name has not been disclosed is accused of « managing a large-scale multi-level investment fraud scheme », which included a fake website for stealing funds from 70 German citizens.
The offender pretended to be an employee of a real investment company from Geneva and urged victims to invest in assets. The fraudster created a fake site that looked almost identical to the site of a real company.
Investment documents that imitated documents from banks and insurance companies were also provided to potential victims in order to create the impression of legitimacy. As a result, investors sent funds by bank transfer to the accounts of an attacker.
After receiving the money, the fraudster disappeared, transferring the stolen funds through other countries for their laundering. German police launched an investigation in 2019 with the support of the Europol Financial Crimes Division, eventually law enforcement officers tracked stolen money to Turkey and detained the offender. During the investigation, police searched the property of an attacker in Germany, the Netherlands, Spain and Hungary.
Europol said that international police cooperation played a key role in holding the offender accountable, as the perpetrator created a sophisticated infrastructure scattered across several countries to prevent law enforcement agencies from tracking him down.
