Bank manager faces eight years in prison for defrauding deceased customers out of €293,700

Next Wednesday, September 11, the third section of the Provincial Court of Alicante will judge the former director of two bank branches located in the same city for an alleged fraud which the prosecution estimates to be 293,700 euros.

According to information provided by the High Court of Justice of the Valencian Community (TSJCV), the Public Prosecutor’s Office maintains in its indictment that the employee located the accounts of elderly customers, mostly deceasedto appropriate their funds, by removing, where appropriate, the persons authorized on these accounts.

Then, according to the prosecution, he searched the bank’s database for customers with similar names, extracted their identifiers and added them to the information of the accounts he intended to plunder, also changing contact details such as the address.

In this way, as the accusatory version tells us, he issued new booklets, activated them, supplanted the signatures of the clients and made cash refunds in his same office. For all these reasons, the prosecution is requesting a sentence of eight years in prison and a fine for a persistent offence of falsifying a commercial document in competition with a persistent offence of fraud.
