Scam call centre shut down thanks to Eurojust-supported investigation

A joint investigation by Latvian and Ukrainian authorities, supported by Eurojust, has shut down a fraudulent call centre in Kharkiv, Ukraine. Operated by an organised crime group, the scam call centre defrauded European residents of hundreds of thousands of euros. Following a joint action day on 26 May, four leaders of the organised crime group were arrested, five individuals were identified as suspects and 14 searches were executed.
