National Police have arrested 13 people in a new scam which operated from Palma de Mallorca and allegedly cheated millions out of their customers in the UK. Diario de Mallorca reports that the majority of the suspects are British, of Pakistani origin.
Officers searched 10 addresses on Tuesday, including an office in Palma from where the telesales calls were made. Two premises in Santa Ponça and Andratx were also searched.
The investigations began in the UK after dozens of people reported that they had been victims of fraud. They said they had invested large amounts of money in a company which promised them a return of high interest, but had received nothing further after the first few months of payments.
The Baleares newspaper ‘Ultima Hora’ puts the number of victims at more tan 80 and indicates that the money defrauded could amount to more than 4 million pounds.
