Directed by a self-styled ‘Wolf of Kiev,” hundreds of multilingual sales men and women working in a call center atop Mandarin Plaza have been operating “industrial-scale fraud,” stealing millions of dollars from elderly victims, largely in Scandinavia, the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project reports in a 5,000-word story headlined: “Trail of Broken Lives Lead to Kyiv Call Center.” Armed with a whistleblower’s insider dossier, 21 reporters interviewed 180 victims around the world for stories that ran Sunday in Stockholm’s Dagens Hyheter and in Britain’s Guardian newspaper.
