Four cases of fraud were detected and two attempts in Thessaloniki that took place between December 2022 and October 2023.

In particular, indictments were filed against a total of ten Greeks (four women and six men) and one foreigner, aged between 21 and 63, for the crimes of computer fraud (perpetrated and attempted) and illegal access to a system, as the case may be information and data.

Typical are the cases of filing a case file against:

  • of a 50-year-old citizen, who, claiming to be acting on behalf of an electricity company and under the pretext of a refund, requested the citizen’s e-banking codes, with which he attempted to transfer money from the victim’s account.
  • of a 39-year-old foreigner, who through a false ad for the sale of a vehicle, posted on the internet, managed to extract the sum of (1,680) euros from victims.
  • Six citizens, aged 26, 53, 50, 21, 26 and 21 years old, who by gaining access to a company’s bank account, through e-banking codes, managed to extract the sum of (21,319) euros.

The filed cases will be submitted to the competent prosecutor.
