The two men are suspected of fraud involving millions of euros. Twelve home searches were also carried out on Tuesday. Concretely, Eurojust, the European agency which supports cooperation between judicial authorities, is trying to dismantle a network of fraudsters who operate online. For this file, a collaboration has been set up between Finland, Germany, Latvia and Belgium. On Tuesday, Eurojust said it had dealt “a heavy blow” to the network which has already claimed hundreds of victims in 11 countries.
According to the investigation, the victims were directed to an apparently trustworthy exchange offering “lucrative investments” through the trading of cryptocurrencies, currencies and stocks.
After being contacted by a call center or by e-mail, the victims transferred large sums of money. The suspects controlled the online accounts and are also suspected of money laundering.
One of the suspects would be Prince Rami Jaber Al Husseini, 41, who lives in Antwerp and where he is currently imprisoned, we learned from a good source. Prince Rami Jaber ran a film company as a producer in a district of the Antwerp metropolis.
