Today at 9:30, some of the security measures for those arrested from the action carried out on Monday, where three call centers involved in online investment fraud schemes were discovered, will be announced.
In the premises discovered in the capital, dozens of young people were employed, who made calls to European citizens, mainly from Germany and Austria, convincing them to invest in financial platforms that turned out to be fraudulent.
According to the file obtained by Top Channel journalist Anila Hoxha, it shows how various citizens of European Union countries have been financially defrauded, causing them to lose large amounts of money.
Austrian authorities provided indications that call centers in Albania committed fraud involving large sums in Vienna and other cities in Austria from June 15, 2023 to July 30, 2024.
The file states that through fraudulent behavior, they have incited the injured citizens by presenting false circumstances that the transferred money would actually be invested. Through the fraud, the perpetrators have unfairly benefited themselves or on behalf of other persons, as the injured due to fraud and the presentation of false data have transferred millions of significant amounts of money, which in total is thought to be more than 30 million euros.
Victims are usually lured into these fraudulent platforms through a fake advertisement by a celebrity. The alleged investments are not realized and the money is funneled into a complex money laundering network.
The callers, "financial advisors", have remotely controlled the computers of the victims through the Any Desk program. Most of the IP addresses of the perpetrators are masked using VPN or Proxy, but in the information sent, the partners had managed to identify several Albanian IPs which they have made available./TCH
