Criminal group dismantled for defrauding banks
National Police agents dismantled a criminal network specializing in bank fraud through the fraudulent use of dataphones and false identities. Three people were arrested who caused economic damage of 215,000 euros to different banking entities through more than 280 bank accounts created with 17 false identities.
The investigation began following various complaints filed by different banks that were suffering economic damage in banking operations with dataphones. The fraudulent operation consisted of members of the group, using false documents, creating a large number of bank accounts with which they proceeded to rent dataphones or point-of-sale terminals.
After contracting these terminals, the respondents began making payments using different credit or debit cards, controlled by themselves, for high amounts, with these purchases being immediately paid into the bank accounts they had created .
