The men stand accused of cold-calling residents throughout the country and pressurising them to part with money for non-existent shares.

Liam Rymell, 23, Dominic Jones, 24, Shafiq Dad, 41, Omar Rana, 27 and Rashid Shafayat, 30, all from Nottingham, and John Bartlett, 22, and Tyrone Robinson, 23, both from Mansfield, were among 15 men arrested earlier this week in an armed raid on their suspected headquarters in Palma, Mallorca.

Officers appealed for potential victims to come forward, and revealed that Dyno Medical, Inca Pacific Gold and Mining and Viking Gold Resources were fake companies linked to the gang.


Detective Superintendent Bob Wishart, from the City of London Police's Economic Crime Directorate, said: "It is the first time in Spain that authorities believe they have dismantled an operation of this scale in its entirety."
