African "jungle" mishap! Gambian police raid seaside villa, 60 Chinese and Vietnamese fraud suspects arrested.

Gambian police recently launched a large-scale raid in Tujereng, a suburb of the capital, dismantling a transnational online fraud syndicate and arresting 60 suspects from China and Vietnam on the spot. At the scene, 36 laptops, 32 desktops, 174 mobile phones, and a large amount of network equipment were seized, indicating the massive scale of the fraud operation.

🏠 Mansions hide schemes, elite properties involved

Investigations revealed that six months ago, the group moved into two seaside mansions in Tujereng and Bartokunku. One of the properties belongs to Abubakar Jan, the President's National Security Advisor, and the other to well-known real estate developer and nightclub owner Peter Senghore. Neither conducted background checks on their tenants, sparking public criticism over "protection of power" and regulatory loopholes.

😨 Guard's poisoning unveils secrets

Neighbors had long noticed something was off, describing the foreign residents as almost never interacting with the outside world, "like ghosts." The real trigger for the operation was a guard who noticed excessive operation of computers and communication equipment at night in the villa. Preparing to expose this, he was poisoned and nearly lost his life. During his hospitalization, he provided the police with information that directly led to the raid.

💻 Transnational fraud network exposed

Preliminary investigations show that the syndicate primarily operated cryptocurrency investment scams and transnational recruitment frauds, luring global victims through social media with promises of high returns. The police have requested Interpol's involvement to trace the suspects' identities and the flow of funds.

The Gambian police stated that this is one of the largest online fraud cases in recent years, and the involved mansions have been thoroughly sealed and documented. The police warn the public to be wary of "get-rich-quick" online investment schemes.

"This is a serious threat to national security, and we will investigate thoroughly," emphasized a police spokesperson.
