Europol Disrupts Major OCG Behind Investment Scams

Europol announced the disruption of a major organised crime group (OCG) conducting investment scams.

 

➡️ The criminal network is responsible for defrauding over 100 individuals out of over €3m.

➡️ The investigation was led by German authorities and supported by Europol and Eurojust along with authorities in the UK, Israel, Cyprus, and Albania.

➡️ The operation led to an arrest and seizure of documents, electronic devices, and cash.

✅ Firms operating in the EU should review their digital fraud prevention frameworks to ensure they are robust and their customers are safeguarded from similar scams.
