A gigantic fraud case involving hundreds of thousands of euros is being investigated by police authorities in Thesprot, following a complaint to the Undersecretary of Security of Igoumenitsa.
A 78-year-old resident of Parapotamos, Thesprot, reported to authorities that he had fallen victim to fraudsters, who managed to gradually extort 300,000 euros from him.
The actions of unknown individuals began in February 2025 and lasted until June 2026. The perpetrators approached the elderly man promising him large profits through cryptocurrency investment programs.
The company’s headquarters are supposedly abroad, as the 78-year-old reported to authorities.
The fraudsters managed to convince the 78-year-old that he would make large and secure profits, and with this trick they led him to successive transfers of large sums of money.
A criminal case for fraud against unknown persons has been filed, while preliminary investigations and investigations are being undertaken by the Igoumenitsa Sub-Directorate for the Prosecution and Investigation of Crimes.
