He had hired a personal loan with a merchant, received the agreed amount and reported being the victim of a bank scam
The Civil Guard of the Region of Murcia has developed an investigation to clarify a bank scam, which has culminated with the investigation of the whistleblower who has been instructed proceedings as alleged perpetrator of the crimes of simulation of crime and fraud, after verifying the non-existence of the criminal acts initially denounced.
Last April, a neighbor of Beniel filed a complaint for an alleged bank fraud.
The complainant informed the agents that they were victims of several withdrawals in their current account, in different days and hours, all of them of unknown origin.
The agents opened the corresponding investigation with the purpose of clarifying the criminal act of bank fraud, but detected, after following the traceability of the money charged in the account of the complainant, that the reimbursements came from collections made by a well-known merchant specialized in the concession of personal loans.
The company that had granted the loan provided the documents usually requested for the concession, highlighting among them, a copy of the National Identity Document of the complainant and the signing of the contract that links them, highlighting that this heading fully coincides with that expressed by the one now investigated in the police proceedings that started the investigation.
The agents also verified in the police databases the possible existence of some previous complaint by the alleged victim for theft of personal documentation, in order to rule out any illegal identity theft, some procedures that gave negative results.
During the course of the investigation, it was also found that the concessionaire of the loan had documentation from the complainant that could not have obtained it in any way without the approval of the previous one.
After the presentation of the complaint, the alleged victim complained to the bank about the reimbursement of the supposedly fraudulent charges, for which he recovered the amount reimbursed by the concessionaire of the loan.
From the research carried out, as well as from the continuous modifications and inconsistencies in the subsequent statements of the researcher, it appears that the latter formalized the personal loan, obtained the amount agreed with the mercantile and denounced a supposed bank fraud so as not to have to face the return of the borrowed money.
The Civil Guard has investigated the whistleblower, who has been instructed diligences as alleged perpetrator of crime of simulation of crime and fraud.
