"Piranhas" release photos of people who were defrauding Italian

Eight people have been arrested at the request of the Special Prosecution Office in an action against call center fraud.

As a result of this operation, three more people were declared wanted for computer fraud, while 28 premises were also searched: apartments, vehicles, offices, garages, etc.

The investigations began on January 9th after several Italian journalists from the investigative show "Le Iene" appeared at the National Bureau of Investigation, who during an investigation had identified a call center in Tirana that was deceiving Italians and Europeans about investments in various cryptocurrencies.

The leaders of the criminal activity had set up a well-organized call center, with separate work stations, defined roles, and staff operating in Italian, French, Spanish, and German.

From the first investigative actions of the BKH, it resulted that the organizers of this criminal activity had a sophisticated security structure, with several protective perimeters, using not only static film cameras, but also civilian surveillance personnel, outside this Center.

Also, due to the announcement by the latter, the premises where the call center was set up were emptied overnight, to be moved to another building. But everything was revealed by the investigations, hitting the group in question.

Meanwhile, the investigative show "Piranhas" has also published photos of people who were defrauding Italian citizens tonight.

"These are the people who deceived Italian citizens in the Call Center that was struck down two days ago by justice, following an investigation that was the fruit of cooperation between the show Le Iene and the show Piranjat," the investigative show writes on social media.
