73 people were identified as implicated in a fraud scheme that embezzled significant sums of money from German citizens through call centers in Albania.

The Albanian-German investigation discovered the scheme used through Call Centers that led to the arrest of 15 of the suspects, while others are being prosecuted at large or are wanted.

Extortionate calls who encouraged foreign nationals to “invest” in dubious ventures, were carried out in separate functions and therefore the investigation is being conducted for fraud in the form of a ‘structured criminal group’.

The head of the criminal police also said that money laundering charges are being investigated: “Because the money came from crime, the investigation also involves money laundering”, he added.
