The Basic Court in Pristina has ordered pre-trial detention for nine suspects for the criminal offenses of "fraud" and "computer fraud".
According to an announcement, the measure was imposed on defendants TS, DM, DH, RH, PRAP, FZ, DH, and BE, at the request of the Basic Prosecution Office in Ferizaj.
The court has assessed that this measure is adequate as there is a risk that the defendants will flee, especially since some of them are German citizens and most of them have been found to frequently travel abroad.
These nine people are suspected of having, this year, in various locations, through call centers, "acting in an organized, coordinated manner and with separate roles, with the aim of illegally obtaining material benefit for themselves, through false presentation of facts, misled the injured parties - foreign citizens, inciting them to commit acts to the detriment of their property, as well as misled them through false presentation, as representatives of financial investment companies."
The parties have the right to appeal to the Court of Appeal of Kosovo.
