New details have come to light regarding the arrest of two Chinese citizens a few days ago in Tirana, accused of computer fraud and theft of data of Albanian citizens.
It is learned that Cybercrime has prevented the theft of data from over 5,000 Albanians.
The estimated amount that was at risk of being stolen through the Chinese fraudulent scheme to falsify the Albanian Post website is around 5 billion lek, or 50 million euros, from Albanian bank accounts.
The two arrested Chinese, Cunfeng Fan, 51, and Haike Yan , 45, came to Tirana a week ago to continue their criminal activity.
They were accommodated in a hotel very close to the center of the capital, where dozens of material items important to the investigation were found.
The two Chinese had come to our country to build infrastructure and then withdraw money from bank accounts abroad.
Cybercrime has tracked down the Chinese group through continuous monitoring of the "darkweb" and open sources on the internet, which, after being verified, have led to their identification.
It is suspected that other people are involved in this scheme, for whom further investigations have been initiated.
