Jan 14, 2024 - Albanian police have smashed a cybercrime ring, uncovering over 1 million euros in fraudulent transactions.
F. K., a 41-year-old Turkish national, was arrested for using his business’s point-of-sale (POS) system to swipe a card belonging to someone who wasn’t even in the country at the time.
The illegal transactions, flagged by companies like MasterCard, were part of a complex scam. Police are now working with international authorities to track down others involved in the operation.
The crackdown, led by the Directorate for the Investigation of Cyber Crimes, comes as Albania ramps up efforts to tackle online fraud.
