Germany Hunts International Crypto Fraudsters After Six-Figure Heist
Authorities in Germany are investigating a sophisticated international fraud case involving cryptocurrency concepts. The criminals, who remain unidentified, targeted a company in the Sigmaringen district, promising mediation of a Swiss investor for a multi-million project. They operated professionally, using different crypto coins to hide funds and transfer a substantial sum from the company's account.
The fraud, which occurred in July 2025, involved negotiations and personal meetings abroad. The scammers managed to convince the company of their legitimacy and successfully withdrew a six-figure sum in crypto as a commission. The Friedrichshafen Criminal Police, in collaboration with the Hechingen Public Prosecutor's Office, is handling the case. They have warned about the highly professional tactics employed by these scammers, who are known to target even larger companies.
Investigators have managed to secure over $100,000 worth of crypto on an exchange. However, the perpetrators remain at large, and the investigation to identify the suspects continues.
The crypto fraud case in the Sigmaringen district serves as a stark reminder of the sophisticated tactics employed by international scammers. Authorities are urging companies to remain vigilant and exercise caution when dealing with potential investors, especially those promising large-scale projects. The investigation is ongoing, and further updates are expected from the Friedrichshafen Criminal Police and the Hechingen Public Prosecutor's Office.
