Public funds prosecutors arrested three Africans on charges of swindling people by claiming they can turn paper into dollars.
An owner of a garmets company in Sharqiya said the con artists told him they had US$10 million in banknotes painted with a black dye and asked him for 300,000 euros to buy solutions to remove it.
Investigators seized the said banknotes and referred the Africans to investigation.
