Five men are on trial in the Gelderland District Court for an extensive fraud case. Dozens of victims went down the drain for several millions. The suspects had been running six fictitious companies since 2013.
From London and elsewhere, they offered consumers from Ede, Heelsum, Nijmegen and Eerbeek, among others, the opportunity to trade in international currencies. In reality, they turned out to be boiler rooms; the companies were totally bogus and the profits they promised did not exist.
