MoI arrests 64 for illicit funds and scams of over QAR 4 million
Ministry of Interior's Economic and Cyber Crimes Combating Department was able to catch 64 people from different countries who were involved in scams.
These people had been pretending to be investment companies and setting up fake businesses to illegally get a lot of money so they could take it out of the country. On its social media pages, the Ministry of the Interior said this and posted a picture of the scammers with the money and electronics that had been taken from them.
