According to a police source who spoke to Hürriyet on condition of anonymity, Danish police warned their Turkish counterparts through Interpol in May that a Denmark-based Turkish company’s e-mail system was breached and more than $1.4 million, as well as fake invoices, were sent to a front company in Turkey.
After the investigation, Turkey’s Cyber Crime Units detained the front company’s three Turkish employees, as well as five Nigerians, in a five-star hotel and luxurious residences in Istanbul.
The Nigerian suspects, led by Emanuel Aneke, are accused of hacking international companies’ emails, learning about their business partners and then using duplicate websites to fraud them.
Aneke’s luxury car and five necklaces worth some $65,000 were seized by the police, alongside a number of expensive accessories owned by the Nigerians.
Police also found out that the gang’s ringleader was sharing photos of his bling on his popular Instagram account under the name of Otunba Cash.
