4 arrested in credit card fraud investigation
European Police
Brussels - ArabToday
Four suspects were arrested in an investigation targeting an international criminal group involved in credit card fraud, the European Police Office (Europol) said Tuesday.
The Cypriot police, with the support of Europol and authorities of the United States and Belarus, disrupted the group. Their criminal activities had affected more than 130,000 payment of card holders.
The investigation found that the credit card fraud resulted in eight million euros (8.5 million U.S. dollars) in financial losses.
The criminal network established several fake on-line shops and a shell software company in order to make illicit credit card transactions.
Due to many low-value transactions linked with Internet services, the criminals were able to operate without detection for several months, according to Europol's press release.
Steven Wilson, head of Europol's European cyber crime center noted: "The threat from cyber fraud has continued to grow and expand into a variety of sectors."

to 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Emiratesvoice
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opens Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations.
