Details of the operation

OJOGOKK carried out actions through the Department for Combating Organized and Serious Crime at the Bureau of Public Security as part of an investigation coordinated by Europol and Eurojust. Law-enforcement bodies from Germany, Cyprus, Finland, Albania, Israel, Kosovo and North Macedonia participated in the effort.

"The operation was carried out with the support and coordination of Europol and Eurojust, and it involved competent authorities from Germany, Cyprus, Finland, Albania, Israel, Kosovo and North Macedonia. As a result of the coordinated activities, seven suspects were arrested in different countries, searches were carried out at 17 locations and more than 100 servers were seized, as well as other electronic evidence and assets connected to the criminal activities," the Basic Public Prosecutor's Office for Prosecution of Organized Crime and Corruption said.

Prosecutors say the identified financial damage exceeds four million euros. Potential victims have been identified in at least 50 countries, according to the same statement.

The operation included arrests, multiple searches and extensive seizures of electronic equipment. Authorities report that the seized material includes servers and other devices believed to have been used to operate fraudulent investment platforms and to process illicit funds.

Investigations and forensic analysis of the seized data are ongoing, and prosecutors said further measures — including additional arrests or asset freezes — could follow as cross-border inquiries continue.
