On February 24, 2022, the Specialized Prosecutor's Office received a letter of grateful acknowledgement from the General Prosecutor's Office in Koblenz, Federal Republic of Germany, on the occasion of its participation in a successful joint implementation on the territory of six European countries.
In connection with the international investigation of online fraud, in May 2020 a coordination center was organized at Eurojust to carry out simultaneous investigative actions on the territory of Bulgaria, Germany, Israel, Sweden, Poland and Northern Macedonia. Due to the established organization and coordination of actions was neutralized an international organized criminal group dealing with online fraud through fictitious cryptocurrency trading.
Thousands of European citizens have been affected by the activities of the criminal group, with total property damage amounting to around 30 million euro.
On the Common Action Day, numerous searches and seizures were carried out on the territory of the six countries, six persons were arrested, and huge amounts of material assets were seized in the case, pursuant to European Investigation Orders and European Arrest Warrants.
Attached we present herewith the letter of grateful acknowledgment from the Koblenz General Prosecutor’s Office.
