Eurojust coordinated a Latvia‑Lithuania‑Ukraine joint investigation that resulted in 11 arrests and searches at 32 locations in Dnipro targeting a call centre operating fake crypto investment platforms. Authorities say initial confirmed losses exceed €160,000 and seized cash, crypto wallets, electronics and luxury vehicles.

Eurojust coordinated a multi‑jurisdictional action day in Ukraine after a joint investigation involving Latvia, Lithuania and Ukrainian authorities uncovered a call centre in Dnipro operating fraudulent cryptocurrency investment platforms. Law enforcement executed searches at 32 locations and arrested 11 suspects, seizing numerous electronic devices, two crypto wallets, approximately €400,000 in cash and several luxury vehicles. Initial confirmed losses attributed to the operation exceed €160,000, though prosecutors warned that forensic analysis of seized devices may reveal substantially higher victimization and additional victims in other countries. Investigators allege the call centre used scripted social‑engineering and cold‑calling techniques to steer victims into sham trading accounts and to pressure them into transferring funds to controlled wallets. Eurojust’s involvement enabled cross‑border coordination, evidence sharing and synchronized measures to prevent suspects from fleeing and to preserve financial trails. Authorities continue forensic examinations of seized data, are tracing cryptocurrency flows, and have appealed to potential victims to come forward to support prosecutions and asset‑recovery efforts.
