According to investigative sources, the operation was spread across several call center-equipped facilities, spread across different areas of the capital. Two of them were located in a business complex in Tirana, while another was located near the Zoo.
During the controls carried out by the authorities, a significant amount of money, around 1 million euros in cash, was seized, suspected to be related to illegal activity.
Preliminary investigations suggest that the scheme targeted foreign nationals, including citizens from Austria, Italy, Spain, Greece, Canada and the United States. They were allegedly defrauded through various telephone methods used by call center operators.
