by

60 people were identified who were active in committing electronic fraud – 280,000 euros looted from only two cases

In the investigation of a criminal organization – which is, however, being investigated whether it operated entirely or partially in different groups – and in the identification of a total of 60 people who were active in committing electronic fraud and were responsible for two “mammoth” frauds with a total loot of 280,000 euros, the Ilida Security Department proceeded.

A case file was filed against the perpetrators with the charges of setting up a criminal organization, computer fraud and money laundering from illegal activity, which will be submitted to the Prosecutor of Amaliadas.

The first case

The first case of fraud concerns a company whose object is the car, from which they managed to extract a total of 126,000 euros. From the investigations, 28 perpetrators were identified, who are charged with the above charges.

The second case

For the second case of fraud, it concerns a packaging and standardization company of agricultural products based in Kampos from which the perpetrators had managed to extract 154,000 euros. For this specific case, 32 perpetrators were identified, who are also facing the same charges.

Methodology

These are two scams whose methodology was similar, with the perpetrators tricking businesses by pretending to be customers, gaining access to victims’ bank accounts by extracting passwords under various pretexts, and emptying them.
