Yesterday, Tuesday 14 May, members of the Regional Judicial Police Squad in Fez arrested nine people aged between 21 and 45 years, including a woman and a person with a criminal record, on suspicion of being part of a criminal network active in fraud, attacks on automated banking data processing systems and the circulation of illegal digital currencies.
The criminal method used by the suspects was to exploit a vulnerability in the application of a banking institution to carry out fraudulent withdrawals and transfers, during which they seized important sums of money before attempting to launder the funds obtained from this criminal activity by purchasing and trading illegal digital currencies.
The investigations led to the identification of the suspects, who were arrested in the cities of Fez and Marrakech, before the seizure and search operation led to the discovery in their possession of a set of electronic devices suspected of being used to commit these criminal offences.
Eight of the suspects were taken into custody, while the arrested woman was subjected to judicial investigation supervised by the competent public prosecution to uncover all the circumstances of this case, while research and investigations are still ongoing to arrest the rest of the participants and contributors to this criminal activity.
