The Civil Guard has arrested five persons (four men and one woman, aged between 40 and 68) accused of being part of a network engaged in fraud on the Internet and of laundering illegal profits obtained, a criminal group operating from Bizkaia and Castro Urdiales (Cantabria).
Those arrested are charged not only with belonging to a criminal group, but also with fraud, money laundering, forgery of documents and usurpation of civil status.
The Civil Guard initiated the investigation following a complaint filed by a Riojana company alleging that it had been defrauded €65,000.
In response to an offer allegedly made by an intermediary, the said company reached an agreement to purchase fuel for €65,431.
After payment, however, they did not have access to any fuel, and after contacting the company directly, they were able to verify the fraud.
Finally, the police tracked down and identified the people who made up the network, some of them in Bilbao and Castro Urdiales.
