European authorities detained 15 suspected crypto scam individuals and shuttered a large-scale operation of call center networks that allegedly stole hundreds of millions of euros from victims by selling counterfeit digital currencies.
According to Europol, the arrest was conducted on January 11, 2023, after German authorities requested an investigation in June of last year.
Europol, in collaboration with the national law enforcement of Bulgaria, Cyprus, and Serbia, launched raids in 22 different sites. The operation resulted in the capture of 15 people, 14 of them in Serbia and one in Germany.
