Members of the Coordination of Investigations Against Organized Crime, from the Municipal Delegation of Puerto La Cruz, managed to apprehend a woman who was engaged in extortion, said the director of the Criminal and Criminal Scientific Investigations Corps (CICPC), Douglas Rico.

In this regard, Rico indicated that upon receiving a complaint, officials began a series of investigations and documentary expertise, which resulted in the identification and location of the woman, “who, using the handling of confidential information between her and her victim, requested large sums of money in foreign currency, accessing it on several occasions; after seeing that the victim was not continuing to make the required payments, the email account was created linaresalejandrosaid@gmail.com and fake profiles on social networks, posing as public officials, where he demanded money from him and threatened to deprive him of his freedom.”

The detainee was identified as Yuleanny Romero, and at the place of her arrest, a Redmi phone was collected as evidence of the case, which provided extensive computer expertise, determining all the false profiles created to materialize the extortion.
