GUERCIF – Security services in the regional security district of Guercif have successfully arrested an 18-year-old man suspected of involvement in a criminal network specializing in fraud and impersonation of legally regulated positions.
Security sources revealed that the suspect was the subject of two national search warrants issued by the Judicial Police services in Guercif and the National Judicial Police Brigade. This arrest comes as part of ongoing investigations related to the dismantling of a criminal network in July, during which nine of its members were previously arrested.
Investigations have revealed that the network’s modus operandi involved contacting victims by phone, with members impersonating public officials and executives of private institutions. They would deceive their victims with promises of cash prizes or social assistance to obtain their banking information, which was then used fraudulently to steal money from their bank accounts.
The suspect has been placed in police custody pending judicial investigation under the supervision of the competent public prosecutor’s office. Security authorities continue their investigations to determine the potential extensions of this illegal activity, while awaiting the results of the technical investigation of the mobile phone seized from the suspect.
