Police in Korca, Albania, have busted a criminal gang made up of Albanians who were committing electronic fraud. The group was discovered after siphoning money from the bank accounts of over five thousand Greek citizens. This was reported by the Greek TV channel Sky.
The main organizers of the group are two men: one aged 30 from Tirana and the other aged 29 from Korca. Seven people have been detained in connection with the crime.
According to the Albanian police, the amount of money withdrawn from bank accounts in Greece varies between three and five thousand euros per account.
The perpetrators are believed to have installed software on other people’s computers that allowed them to access various personal data, including bank account information. They then transferred money to unknown accounts using virtual intermediaries.
In addition, the suspects used another method of fraud involving fake cryptocurrency companies. In the premises where the criminal activity was carried out, 23 computers and other high-tech devices were found, as well as statements with names and phone numbers of Greeks, fake receipts for payment orders, bitcoins and other materials.
