Fraudulent German online investment platform taken down

With support from Eurojust and Europol, authorities in Germany, Bulgaria, Cyprus, the Netherlands and Ukraine have taken down a major fraudulent online German investment platform which defrauded victims for at least EUR 15 million. The main suspect ran a professional-looking trading site in so-called binary options, which projected high profits. During an action day, one suspect has been arrested and eight places were searched.
