Overview
- Federal police detained a 29‑year‑old man and a 30‑year‑old woman at Frankfurt Airport after prosecutors and foreign authorities issued arrest warrants.
- Authorities say the 29‑year‑old, arrested on arrival from Dubai, is accused of belonging to an organised group that used fake investment offers to cause at least double‑digit million‑euro losses in Germany.
- The man was presented to the magistrate at the Amtsgericht Frankfurt and remains in custody while German and Albanian authorities pursue criminal proceedings and possible extradition.
- The 30‑year‑old was held shortly before a flight to Mallorca on a Koblenz warrant and is accused of feigning a relationship in 2025 to steal money and valuables from an 80‑year‑old victim, including during a hospital stay; she was presented to the Amtsgericht Koblenz and jailed.
- Investigations continue to identify victims, quantify total losses and determine whether further arrests or cross‑border legal steps are needed, with prosecutors focused on recovering assets and clarifying the scope of the schemes.
