The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) has arrested two members of an organized group involved in online financial fraud, reported 24NewsHD TV channel Tuesday.
The suspects, identified as Noman Ali and Mubashar Ali, were apprehended during a targeted operation.
According to initial investigations, the FIA revealed that the arrested individuals belong to a well-coordinated group specializing in defrauding unsuspecting citizens through online schemes. The accused reportedly posed as officials from banks or sensitive institutions to gain the trust of their victims.
The group would then use the obtained account information to access and transfer funds from the victims' bank accounts. The stolen amounts were deposited into various bank accounts, with the gang members receiving commissions for their participation.
During the raid, the FIA recovered multiple bank account checks, registers, and mobile phones from the suspects. These items contain crucial evidence related to financial fraud activities. The FIA is continuing its efforts to apprehend other members of the gang involved in the operation.
