The Guardia Civil has dismantled an Alicante-based network dedicated to committing bank phishing scams at an international level and on a huge scale. The members invested the money stolen from the accounts in crypto-currencies, in order to be able to launder it without leaving a trace. They managed to defraud 600,000 euros from a total of 106 people.
Eight people have been arrested for the alleged crimes of fraud, forgery of identity documents, money laundering and the establishment of a criminal organisation.
