Alger, April 18, 2024 – The security services have dealt another blow to organized crime in the capital. Indeed, the brigade fighting economic and financial crime of the judicial police in the Algiers province has succeeded in dismantling a criminal network specialized in forgery, led by a man over 70 years old.
This crackdown operation led to the arrest of the five members of the network, who operated very discreetly. The investigations, launched following information about suspicious activities of a company manager using multiple identities to carry out questionable banking transactions, led the investigators to the individuals involved.
During the searches carried out at the suspects’ homes, law enforcement discovered an arsenal of evidence confirming their illegal activities.
Among the seized items were seven vehicles, documents related to 24 shell companies, 14 forged driving licenses, 23 seals of shell companies, as well as a multitude of counterfeit administrative and tax documents.
The suspects were brought before the public prosecutor on serious charges, including tax evasion, money laundering, identity theft, falsification of administrative and commercial documents, concealment, and failure to report a crime.
This operation highlights the determination and effectiveness of the security services in their fight against organized crime, which undermines the foundations of the national economy and threatens the security of financial transactions.
It also reaffirms the authorities’ firm commitment to pursue the perpetrators of these crimes and bring them to justice in order to preserve the safety and tranquility of citizens.
