Telephone fraudsters have been detained as part of an international police operation led by the Specialised Prosecutor’s Office, the Prosecutor's office said on December 11.
Six people were detained including the alleged leader of the organised criminal group.
All the victims of the telephone fraudsters were Bulgarian citizens and were targeted at random.
The scams were perpetrated with SIM cards of a Romanian mobile operator, from the territory of Romania. The money were carried to Romania through the so called “mules” and then returned to Bulgaria.
The work on identifying telephone scams is a priority for the Prosecutor’s office, prosecutor Valentina Madzharova from the Specialized Prosecutor’s office said.
