International Cooperation Leads to Arrest of Five Suspected Phone Scammers in Poland
Five suspected phone scammers were arrested in Poland following a collaborative effort between Swiss and Polish authorities. The calls often target elderly individuals, posing as police or doctors and claiming urgent financial needs. Reports indicate that such scams led to financial losses exceeding two million Swiss francs last year. Luca Allegri from the Ticino Canton Police emphasized the importance of international coordination, as the Ticino region accounts for nearly 20% of such calls in Switzerland, highlighting the urgent need for continued efforts against this growing issue.
