MADRID, 17 Ene. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The judge of the National Court investigating the alleged pyramid scam with cryptocurrencies committed by the Arbistar company will take a statement this Wednesday from 09:45 a.m. to four investigated.

In an order, to which Europa Press has had access, the head of the Central Court of Instruction Number 4 summons Jennifer López, Ivone Fuentes, Nasci María Álvarez and Edgar Álvarez to testify.

These statements are part of the alleged pyramid scam with cryptocurrencies that would have left a balance of more than 100 million euros defrauded and more than 30,000 harmed throughout the world, from Spain to Iran, Bulgaria, Colombia or Argentina, among other countries, according to The magistrate.

The case broke out in the autumn of 2020 with the first complaints until, after going through the courts of Arona, in Tenerife, the investigation ended in April 2021 at the National Court.

It was last October when Calama agreed to extend the investigations for a period of six months due to "the especially complex nature of the facts investigated; the large number of victims and their location throughout the national territory, as well as in numerous European countries, Asians and Latin Americans.

In addition, the instructor recalled that he was still pending a report to be submitted by the Central Operating Unit (UCO) of the Civil Guard in order to "determine the technical characteristics of the so-called Community Bot and the causes of what those investigated present as a collapse or failure of the system".

But it is that the magistrate also awaits the result of various letters rogatory and European investigation orders. Specifically, an OEI addressed to the judicial authorities of Malta and three letters rogatory addressed to the judicial authorities of the Cayman Islands, the United Kingdom and Hong Kong which will, in turn, give rise to new inquiries.
