Ischia. Taking advantage of his long hospital stay, they stole his banking credentials and emptied his current account in a Swiss bank.
Today the Carabinieri of the Ischia Station executed a preventive seizure order for money and equivalent goods, issued by the GIP of the Court of Naples at the request of the local Public Prosecutor's Office against three suspects, held to be responsible in various capacities for "aggravated theft, unauthorized access to a computer system, aggravated computer fraud and money laundering".
The investigations were started by the Ischia CC Station following the complaint filed in December 2018 by a 66-year-old who, after a long hospital stay, had noticed that all the sums had been stolen from his Swiss bank account. The subsequent bank and asset checks, also carried out in collaboration with the Swiss Police through an international rogatory, allowed to document that:
– one of the suspects, after having stolen the keys for access to the home banking system owned by the complainant, illegally entered the relevant computer system and made various transfers to Italian and Swiss current accounts for €162.000,00;
– the other two defendants in collusion with each other, after receiving a bank transfer to an Italian current account, carried out other banking and financial operations in order to hinder the identification of the illicit origin of the sums.
During the operation, 3 personal and home search warrants were executed, also extended to companies linked to the suspects.
