They were gambling with stolen money

A case file was filed by the Arta Security Department for ongoing fraud and money laundering from criminal activity, acts that took place four months ago.

For her involvement in these cases, national evidence was identified, against which a relevant case file was filed.

In particular, as emerged from the police investigation, unknown persons were calling unsuspecting company employees, preferably women, pretending to be the accountants of their employer company, telling them that they were beneficiaries of a state allowance.

Subsequently, in order to allegedly pay the employees the rightful amount of money, they extracted their e-banking codes and, with appropriate guidance, unknowingly transferred money to an account maintained by the accused in an online betting company, where they bet the transferred money in a develop sports matches (live betting).

Then, in the event that their predictions about the outcome of the matches were confirmed, they transferred the respective winnings to their bank account.

Using this methodology, it was determined that the perpetrators were involved in two cases of fraud and one attempt, all at the expense of women (whom they obviously chose to take advantage of their possible ignorance about betting websites), managing to extort a total sum of 930 euros .

The filed case file will be submitted to the Criminal Prosecutor of Arta, while the investigation to reveal the identity of others involved continues.
