At the request of French law enforcement, Tel Aviv police detained four French immigrants on suspicion that they defrauded investors of more than 3 million euros ($3.1 million).

The arrests were made against the backdrop of a larger investigation in Paris by both French police and Europol, the law enforcement arm of the European Union. The four Tel Aviv residents are suspected of fraud and money laundering.

An Israel Police spokesperson says that officers came across NIS 500,000 ($140,000) in cash, in both shekels and euros, while searching one of the suspects’ homes.
