Police arrested three men aged 20 to 22 in Fez on Tuesday over their suspected involvement in an online investment scam targeting victims through social media.
The suspects allegedly persuaded people to hand over money by promising to invest it in shares of Moroccan real estate companies, police said.
An investigation helped identify the three suspects, who were arrested with a motorcycle allegedly used to facilitate the scam and some of the money suspected to have come from the activity.
Police also seized nine bank cards and four mobile phones believed to contain digital evidence linked to the alleged fraud.
The suspects remain in police custody as part of an investigation supervised by the public prosecutor’s office to establish the circumstances of the case and identify any other suspected criminal activities.
