Hackers who defrauded Lazio have been arrested according to a report from Italian news outlet Calcio e Finanza.
Ramon Olorunwa Abbas, otherwise known as ‘Ray Hushpuppi’ and his accomplice ‘Woodberry’ were both stopped by the FBI in Dubai and have since been transferred to the United States for fraud against thousands of other people too.
In 2018 the duo duped Lazio into paying a €2 million instalement due to Feyenoord for Stefan de Vrij into a different account and it all seemed normal but Feyenoord had never emailed Lazio and never received the amount and this is when the scam came to light.
de Vrij is now on the books of Inter, who he joined in the Summer of 2018 on a free transfer after four years in the Italian capital city with the Biancocelesti.
Since his arrival at Inter, the 28-year-old has made 72 appearances across all competitions to date, in which he has scored five goals and provided five assists for his teammates.
As per a report from British news outlet The Guardian the duo also targeted a Premier League club, a bank and a US law firm.
