Scam in Toulouse: the entrepreneur extracts €550,000 from his bank with only €3,500!
A business manager was taken into custody by Toulouse urban security. He had faked large cash deposits.
A business manager was placed in police custody on Wednesday in Toulouse after a complaint lodged by a bank. In the space of two weeks, in May, the various regional branches of this banking group had recorded very large cash deposits.
More than €550,000 had been allocated to automatons.
Deposited? Actually not really.
The bank, by carrying out checks, found the physical trace of only €3,500. The rest remained fictitious. Except that by the time the checks were effective and crossed with the deposits, the €550,000 were artificially credited to the company’s accounts. When the scam was discovered, some of the money had been used.
These writing games, according to the 40-year-old boss, would allow him to free up cash, supply his customers, collect the money and pay off his debts. In any case, this is what he explained during his hearings before the police officers of the general investigations unit of the Right Bank urban security.
The man was released after his custody. This financial cavalry will be settled in court in mid-May as part of a so-called plea-guilty hearing.
