Syrian man arrested for selling fake gold
The Lebanese Internal Security Forces, through the Information Branch, dealt a blow to a gang involved in fraudulent theft operations by selling counterfeit gold lira coins. Authorities managed to arrest Syrian individual A.H.J. (born in 2005) in Beqaa Valley, after he resisted arrest and was found in possession of fake gold pieces. He also confessed to committing three fraudulent operations involving counterfeit lira coins, which were offered to victims through an intermediary in Syria. The gang relied on convincing victims they were buying genuine gold lira coins at attractive prices, only for the victims to discover the coins were fake upon inspection. The investigation is ongoing to apprehend the remaining members of the gang, with a warning from the department advising the public not to purchase gold from untrusted sources to protect financial interests and prevent fraud.
