Update Two, March 1961
Serial Robber causes confusion in the continent in Le Rabat Journal, 2nd March 1961
In the last few weeks, policemen all around Morocco, Algeria, Mauritania and Spanish Sahara have noticed that there has been a rush of bank robberies all around the region. All these robberies were portrayed by 3-men teams, all of which spoke French or Arabian with a German accent, and they seemed very well coordinated, which makes the police believe that they had inside information. Given the nature and expansion of the robberies, AFRO agents are already investigating these crimes, and there are already clues of connections amongst all the bank robberies.
Strip Divorce in Las Vegas Times, 5th March 1961
Mr Andrew Hunt, owner of the Hunter's Lodge Casino, has reported that he is starting the paperwork for a divorce in his marriage between himself and corporate heiress Mrs Edna Worsley, citing personal problems in their relationship as the reason behind this sudden choice. However, certain sources have informed this newspaper anonymously that the actual reason of divorce was that, behind the facet of a happy couple, there are problems in that Mr Hunt has engaged in several affairs with many other women, using his position as owner of the Hunter's Lodge to engage in said affairs. While this newspaper hasn't been able to confirm this information, we will be working on ascertaining the truthfulness of these statements.

Aliens living amongst us! in San Francisco Enquirer, 8th March 1961
It is true! There are aliens living among us. The leaders of the nations do not want this to be known, because they either are aliens themselves or are under their thrall! We do not know why aliens are here, but it is suspected that they plan to TAKE OVER THE WORLD in order to enslave us. We ask all humans and any aliens that are willing to join us in the quest to free the world from the influence of those that only wish us harm, enslave and kill us!
Sisterhood Disbanded in Helsingin Sanomat, 10th March 1961
EURO Agents, upon confirmation of several details that they had been trying to solve, proceeded to the arrest of the hierarchy of the infamous Sisterhood, led by Mari Saari. According to police sources, the information came from a disgruntled member of the Sisterhood – whose identity has been concealed so that no reprisals are met by the woman who revealed the information – information that painted a dark light over the Sisterhood and its members. All of them have been arrested under charges of conspiracy and their assets have been expropriated by the EURO Agency.
Scandal in the French Catholic Church in Le Monde, 11th March 1961
A surprising series of arrests were conducted yesterday in the city of Monaco by the local police, with help from EURO agents. According to sources from the Monegasque police, famed local shop Le Marché de Sœurs, was suspected of acting as a potential front for criminal activities. As such, a fast intervention was launched, and ended with the arrest of several nuns, all of them former workers at the Convent-Hôpital Verité Fondamental de Cœur et Foi, a hospital run by nun Sister Mary Catherine, who wasn't available for commentary on these news. EURO speakers have stated that the investigation has yet to be closed, and that more arrests can happen.
Guill Attacks Again! in Chicago Times, 14th March 1961
Once more, famed robber Lance Guill has managed to act in spite of police efforts to arrest him. Much like last month's robbery, he did it in the middle of the night, when the level of security was smaller, and managed to knock out a security guard to allow for an easy access to the bank. However, last night the robbery took less than fifteen minutes, which clearly shows that Lance Guill is not only improving, but also training several other people in aiding him to rob. We hope that the police will be able to capture this criminal soon.
Samantha Morris, saved by policeman in The Sacramento Bee, 17th March 1961
Samantha Morris, daughter of Representative for California Robert Morris, who was kidnapped three days ago by unknown people, was found by policeman Daniel Siever yesterday evening in an abandoned building in the outskirts of Sacramento. Police speaker Francis Cane said that Officer Siever managed to make a connection between the sudden renting of the building and strange moves around the place, as reported by concerned citizens, and managed to enter the building and rescue the kidnapped teenager. Representative Morris has thanked the Sacramento Police Department and Officer Siever, as well as offered them a reward for rescuing his daughter, but Officer Siever stated that there was no need for a reward to be given to him.
Société Internationale opens its doors in Les Échos, 19th March 1961
Dr Louis, Prince Napoleon, announced the creation of the Société Internationale to watch over the holdings he has put into business. He has stated that this has been done in order to make sure he can devote his time to the organization of his holdings, as well as time to spend with his family and friends. The fact that he recently authorized the opening of Français Internationale in the city of Brest tells much about the effort and money he is spending in order to bring more jobs to the French people.
Disappearances trouble the Premier in Pravda, 22nd March 1961
In this last month, several important scientists have disappeared from their laboratories. There are suspicions that these scientists may have defected to the Capitalist Bloc under the misguided belief that capitalism is the way of life, but Soviet Union embassies in the Capitalist Bloc nations have reported that none of the missing scientists have appeared in any of those nations. We hope that these scientists will return soon to their correct positions within the Soviet Union.
Casino discovered cheating in Business Day, 25rd March 1961
Famed Willington Casino, which opened doors earlier this year, was reported as enforcing a cheating system amongst the workers in order to increase revenues from unsuspecting clients and players. This ended in the casino having to pay a strong fine and a hanging sentence of enforcing closure of the Casino, a decision that didn't fall well with the casino owner but that she was forced to accept, given that it was her fault it happened.
