From what I'm reading in that news article and the explanation you wrote above, this seems like a fairly complicated and comprehensive scam. It's interesting to note how, when someone gets caught up in a scam, they don't step back and think "Woah, this doesn't make sense". Giving documents to a police officer? Special agents in another building? This always seems to happen, too. I watch scambaiters on YouTube with refund scams, and you end up with an old lady drawing figures upwards of £10,000 out of the bank, then putting it into a box, mailing it to them... Mind you, they tend to prefer the older people because they're more gullible.
