Warrants for the arrest of seven people charged with operating an international online fraud scheme from Namibia were issued on April 24, 2026, after the accused failed to appear in the Windhoek High Court for a pretrial hearing. State advocate Basson Lilungwe confirmed the warrants during the hearing.
The accused face charges related to an alleged cryptocurrency investment fraud that reportedly defrauded victims in multiple countries. The scheme is said to have operated from Namibia, promising high returns on digital currency investments.
The court has set a new date for the case to be mentioned, with the accused expected to be brought before the court once arrested. The investigation is ongoing, and authorities are cooperating with international law enforcement agencies.
