Police authorities in Algiers have arrested two individuals, owners of a travel agency, following allegations of defrauding 64 people. The suspects reportedly promised victims courtesy visas for Hajj and Umrah in exchange for substantial sums of money. The total amount collected through this fraudulent scheme reached 11.365 billion centimes. After receiving multiple complaints, investigators from the major crimes unit of the El-Biar judicial police tracked down the suspects. Following their arrest, the two individuals were presented before the public prosecutor at the Bir Mourad Raïs court to face charges of fraud and swindling.
