Algeria shuts down fraud and money laundering network targeting scholars
Algerian security authorities succeeded in dismantling an organized criminal network in Souk Ahras province that targeted students and academic researchers through false promises of providing research services and publishing studies in indexed journals. The network offered fake services to deceive victims into believing in their credibility, then requested financial transfers from them in exchange for fulfilling their promises, using email accounts and virtual assets to conceal the source of the funds. The investigations resulted in the detention of 35 potential victims and the filing of charges related to forming a criminal association, fraud and electronic deception, money laundering, and promoting prohibited virtual assets, with the case still under investigation.
