Quebec provincial police expect to arrest a dozen people in connection with a romance scam network that bilked $2.3 million out of 50 victims.
The arrests will take place in the regions of Quebec City, Outaouais and Montreal Tuesday morning, including the arrest of ring’s head Sogli Espoir Kouassi, and his two accomplices, Akissi Christelle Semon and Yapo Landry N'Cho, all in their thirties, according to the Sûreté du Québec (SQ).
