Police in Greece have broken up a racket which made €36 million (£29 million) by selling worthless, fake online lottery cards to around 360,000 Germans.

Police in Athens arrested two men, both German born, on suspicion of tricking their customers into paying to take part in non-existent draws.

It was not immediately clear why the men had based themselves in Greece for the scam.
