This is interesting... Scammers arrested in Ukraine in 2017, were using rubber masks to pose as govt. officials to try & scam companies into paying money for covert operations.
In this case, posing as a French Defense Minister seeking ransom to terrorists

7 going on trial alleged to have scammed 50M euro out of wealthy people & businesses. Were they really gullible or was this a way to launder cash?
Targets included kings, presidents, businesses, church leaders & others. Extradited from Ukraine in 2017...
Looks like it was more than 50M euro. A Turkish oligarch coughed up 47 million to the scam....
Looks like they got arrested in the middle of an effort to portray Prince Albert II of Monaco. Monaco is a pretty deep swamp from everything that I have read.

Wonder what other scams they have pulled off...
I guess it would be easy to convince people that the French govt. would secretly pay ransoms to terrorists while pretending they were not. But most didn't fall for it...

This scammer at one time almost got Tunisia to pay him for military helicopters it never ordered!
The guy certainly has cojones...
