Places in the available evidence

Scam operation: Germany

Basis: explicit
Scope: article
Reason: Own Germany phrase locates dating/laundering focus only; no Nigeria operation-country from group descriptor.

Investigation or court: Germany

Basis: place_mapping
Scope: article
Reason: Own national police and arrest/detention clause supports jurisdiction for the reported operation; article scope, not eleven independent cases, conviction or offender-nationality geography.

Unlisted locations remain unknown. Nationality, language and web address alone do not establish where a scam happened.

Connected reporting

Only direct reviewed connections are shown. Shared wording is weaker evidence than a supported case connection. A connection through a third article does not establish that two reports concern the same case.

No direct connection is recorded. This does not establish that the story is unique.

Research provenance

1 saved revision. Corrections preserve earlier versions.

A page can change after it first appears. Observation dates record when its URL was seen; they do not prove that the wording assessed here was present on every date.
