The Attorney General’s Office has charged the legal representatives of several companies involved in the massive fraud scheme known as Daily Cop, accused of giving transit and the appearance of legality to large sums of money obtained through this fraudulent model.
The defendants, identified as Carolina Granada Hernández, Luis Fernando Adams Suárez and Gloria Izquierdo Lópezface charges for the crimes of money laundering, illicit enrichment of individuals and conspiracy to commit a crime.
The Daily Cop case involves a cryptocurrency investment model that promised investors daily profits of 0.5% and a monthly return of 12% in Colombian pesos. However, investigations have revealed that investors’ money was deposited in accounts of associated companies, allegedly used to purchase luxury goods, such as real estate and high-end vehicles, instead of being returned to investors under the promised terms.
