Jan Libbenga writes on The Register:
Dutch police say they are targeting another 23 Nigerian gangs after the arrest of 12 suspects as part of a joint US/Dutch investigation into 419 money-making schemes.More here.
Four chief suspects will be sent to the US for prosecution, where they could face up to twenty years of jail time if convicted. Eight others will be prosecuted in the Netherlands.
“This is only the beginning,” a spokesman for the Dutch police told Dutch daily newspaper De Telegraaf.
Police won't say if more arrests will follow soon, although Frank Engelsman, frauds specialist at US company Ultrascan, lamented in de Telegraaf that "with every African scammer you arrest, another one will take his place."
