The ISF Public Relations Department announced in a statement yesterday that, on 29/1/2019, it received through its ‘Report’ online service a complaint from a Syrian woman residing in Germany against a young man threatening to publish her photos on social media. Upon surveillance and investigation, the Anti-Cybercrime and IP Rights Bureau was able to identify the identity of the blackmailer, A.S (Syrian, born in 1994) and arrested him in the neighborhood of Barbour, Beirut. The suspect admitted under interrogation that he seized personal pictures from the woman’s electronic account and sent them to her sister threatening to publish them if she did not concede to him. The suspect has been referred to the competent judiciary. (Al Mustaqbal, February 5, 2019)
