Spanish authorities have arrested the head of the international fraud network in the Call Center, which has been active in Albania.
The suspected leader of the group in Spain has been arrested as soon as he stepped into Catalan territory, having flown to Barcelona on a flight from Romania.
The arrest of the head of the group is related to the operation carried out on November 8 by the police forces of Germany, Sweden, Finland, Latvia, Ukraine, Georgia, Albania and Spain, coordinated by Eurojust, which involved the dismantling of a criminal organization.
International investigations have concluded that the amount of 2.4 billion euros was benefited by fraud.
So far, some of the criminal networks behind more than 470 fraudulent investment websites have been identified using 24-hour call centers based in the Balkans, an international cryptocurrency network. It is said that at least 200,000 Europeans have been defrauded by this scheme, most of them in Germany, Italy and Spain.
Spanish police intercepted three million emails, which enabled investigators to identify and link more than 470 websites supported by call centers, technology platforms and businesses.
"El Pais" writes that while the investigations were being carried out, the police operation continued in Albania, where two people were arrested and 3 others were declared wanted, among them Amant Josifi.
