Italy bursts ‘Casanova Online Gang’

The Italian police has exposed an online gang, which have cheated several women across the continent of Europe.

The members of the gang have managed to gain the trust of the victims posing as pilots, Interpol officials, sea captains and military officials.

The gang has been broken following a three-year-long operation. As many as fifteen people have been booked in connection with the case.

The victims have lost a huge amount of money. One of the victims have lost a giant sum of 1.3 million Euro. Some have lost their homes to the frauds.

It was Operation Casanova, an operation launched by the Italian police, which has eliminated the threat posed by the gang.

The extent of the crime is not clear at this juncture. In the coming days, more women are expected to come forward with their complaints against the gang. It is possible that the scope of the investigation will be extended beyond the limits of Italy to other countries in the continent.

The police have blamed Nigerians for the crime.
