In searches carried out, in the homes of the members of the criminal organization and in their cars, the police officers found 40,966 euros, six set-top boxes, three computers, three mobile phones and a customer management panel.

In addition, according to the police, the men of Patras Security detected a lot of conversations in online applications, related to the action, both between the members of the criminal organization, and between the members and the customers.

Those arrested will be taken to the Athens District Attorney, while the Patras Security continues the investigations into the case.
