A 58-year-old Croat was convicted of money laundering in Dachau, Germany. He had lent money to an acquaintance from Bosnia who had been in Germany and suffered an accident at work.
The money came from a man from Oldenburg, where unknown persons had gained access to his mobile phone. In the days that followed, the crooks withdrew money from the victim's account five times via online banking – a total of 50,200 euros. A tranche of 16,000 euros was finally transferred to the defendant's account.
