The Israeli Posta reports the arrest of the three Israeli online trading perpetrators Daniel Cohen (41), Amos Barzilai (66), and Daniel Cordian (38). They have been detained by the Israeli police on an arrest warrant of Italian law enforcement charging them with online trading fraud and money laundering. Daniel Cohen‘s father, 83-year-old Aber Cohen, was arrested in Italy several months ago for involvement in the affair and is currently staying at a hotel in Rome with an electronic handcuff.
The Case In A Nutshell
The Italian law enforcement claims that the perpetrators operated broker scams in Italy without a license and defrauded Italian consumers. The total deposits to the scheme’s bank accounts were €36 million. It was further alleged that a transfer of 1.5 million euros was made to an Israeli company, of which the suspects were shareholders. The stolen funds have been laundered via bank accounts of straw companies established in Poland, the Czech Republic, Bulgaria, Georgia, and in tax havens in Seychelles and Vanuatu Islands.
We do not know at this time which brands the four Israelis are associated with and will report on further developments.
