Police have detained three Georgian citizens for the misappropriation of a large amount of money by fraud belonging to a Swedish citizen.

A.Ch. and the two other offenders, identified only as Z.D. and T.Ts., called the Swedish citizen to whom they promised assistance in return for shares lost in the past.

The Swedish citizen transferred €73,000 to the account of an enterprise established in the Czech Republic by A.Ch.

Part of the money ($48,900) was then transferred from the bank account of the enterprise to an account owned by A.Ch. on the Virgin Islands. 

The crime is punishable by nine to 12 years in prison if they are convicted.
