Various criminal activities, including fraud and violent incidents, have been reported across the Czech Republic and Greece.

In the Czech Republic, authorities have addressed several cases. In Liberec, a 23-year-old was detained for acting as a courier in an investment fraud scheme involving two million CZK. Other incidents in the region included a high-speed chase involving a driver under a ban and a violent conflict at Casino Babylon resulting in an attempted murder investigation. In Jihlava, a woman was defrauded of 280,000 CZK by an individual posing as a bank employee, who also coerced the victim into taking intimate photographs.

In Greece, an Austrian tourist reported being defrauded on the island of Rhodes after purchasing a necklace for 5,000 EUR that was later valued at significantly less than its purported worth.
