Romanian prosecutors say 34 people have been detained on accusations of internet fraud worth euro800,000.
Organized crime prosecutors say the suspects posted notices on the internet claiming to sell various products, although the merchandise did not exist. Prosecutors say more than 800 people were cheated in several countries, including the US, Canada, Germany, France, Italy and Spain.
Prosecutors say 10 house searches were also conducted simultaneously in the Czech Republic and 10 people were detained there, as well.
Romanian authorities said that they had received help from FBI and US Secret Service officers.
A court is expected to rule Wednesday on whether the detainees will be arrested for 29 days pending trial.
