A Treasury receipt uncovers a gang led by two hairdressers who won four million in bets with stolen identities. A complaint was the starting signal for an investigation that found a network of fraudsters that had more than 200 victims and more than four million euros in profits in just one year.

The hairdressing couple, who operated in Madrid, used their business facade, with beauty businesses and real estate investments, as a cover to carry out one of the most sophisticated frauds in recent years.
