The judges dealt with fraud, robbery, and money laundering.

In all cases, the men invited the woman, who came alone or accompanied by one or two other women.

On site, the men were drugged, after which the women got hold of the men's mobile bank IDs and robbed them.

The woman registered on the dating sites was sentenced to over eleven years in prison and deportation, and one of the accomplices was sentenced to ten years in prison and deportation. Two other accomplices received seven and five years in prison, respectively. For the others involved, the penalties included fines and probation.

The nine individuals involved in the scam were sentenced on March 7, but the police announced the case on Tuesday.
