Investigation into investment fraud

The Erfurt Public Prosecutor’s Office and the Thuringian State Criminal Police Office are currently conducting an investigation against those responsible for an investment scheme suspected of being a commercial and organized fraud. The suspects promoted alleged investment products related to cryptocurrencies, particularly through leasing cryptocurrency ATMs, promising an unrealistic return of 200% over a period of three years. This large-scale Ponzi scheme has resulted in total damages amounting to 113 million euros.

On June 11, 2024, extensive measures such as searches and seizures were carried out in a coordinated operation in Thuringia, Saxony, Berlin, Brandenburg, Bavaria, Switzerland, Austria, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, and the Czech Republic. Six arrest warrants were issued. The operation involved 280 police officers and several prosecutors.

We have received information that some of the Jubilee Group’s organizers are involved in this case and have been issued arrest warrants. We are monitoring the developments closely and will keep you updated.

Police authorities in Munich have begun issuing summons to victims in the Jubilee Group case to provide statements about the group’s criminal activities. We anticipate progress in the investigation. If you are contacted by the police to give a statement, notify our office immediately. We will assist you through the process and help you prepare.

If you are a victim of this fraud and wish to hire our office or have any questions regarding your legal status you can contact us via our DefendMe Platform (https://defendme.global/) or via email office@defendme.global.
