The Italian financial crime agency (Guardia di Finanza – GdF) has announced the arrest of several individuals suspected of managing Telegram channels to promote fake vaccine certificates, aka 'Green Passes.'

The operation was supported by evidence collected by investigators at Group-IB's high-tech crime unit, who managed to unmask the criminals despite measures to keep their identities hidden.

The searches and arrests took place in Veneto, Liguria, Apulia, and Sicily and all arrested suspects admitted to the illegal activity.
