The accused are accused of fraud and of organized criminal groups, some of whom were charged in connection with the case in 2022. Jaroslav Ibehej, the spokesman of the center, first informed the press about the incident.
According to the police, the Group 18 company presented itself as an independent investment group, which is able to ensure an appropriate appreciation investment with the aim of minimizing risks and maximizing profits.
According to Ibehej, however, the companies did not make or report any significant capital appreciation investment. Zskan pensions, on the other hand, were used by companies for the benefit of people who succumbed to women, walking and the activities of the group. The group extended its finances to other entities as well.
Long-term and systematic fraud
According to the police, the defendants carried out fraudulent activities in a long-term, systematic and organized manner. According to Ibeheje, neither the group of companies nor the defendants had the permission of the Czech National Bank. Ppad supervises the Supreme State Representative Office in Olomouc. All the accused are freed, threatened with 13 years in prison.
The speaker added that the criminal investigator has a list of those who have been injured, so they do not have to report to the police. The NCOZ criminologist advises citizens to exercise caution and vigilance in connection with the investment of their financial resources, Ibehej added.
The police officer accused the three people in connection with the Ramfin group in April 2022. At that time, they said that the perpetrator from Brno, according to the prosecutor, had established contacts with companies that, mainly through the company’s global discounts, approached senior citizens under the guise of help and advice.
The business representatives and sellers of these companies then offered investments to old people from the whole Czech Republic at personal meetings. The police said that they took advantage of their ignorance, suspicion and easy manipulation.
