Two people have been detained after suspicion of involvement in billion fraud in an international crypto scam.

The two, a man and a woman, were arrested in Luleå over the weekend, writes Dagens industri.

I do not want to say so much at present, but I can confirm that the suspicions of crime concern large amounts, says Jerker Asplund, delegated prosecutor at the European Public Prosecutor's Office, to Di.

In addition to these two, two more people have been served with suspicion of crime, but they have been released after questioning.

The German company Northern Data, which owns server halls in Boden, is suspected of VAT fraud. In parallel, the German police have struck against the German company's office in Frankfurt, writes Di.

According to the suspicions, the server companies have claimed that they have sold server power when in fact they have produced cryptocurrency.
