Prague-Sana
A spokesman for the National Center for Combating Organized Crime in Czechia, Yaroslav Ibhi, revealed that an international gang defrauded two Czech banks and an insurance institution with an amount of 1.4 billion Czech kronor, equivalent to 636 million dollars.
In a statement, Abhi said that the gang members pretended that they were conducting international trade in steel and presented documents on this sham trade to the Czech banks, which made them obtain hundreds of millions of kronor from them.
He explained that the police had suggested to the Public Prosecutor to charge four people, 3 of whom were Czechs and the fourth was a foreigner, pointing out that the Czech police investigated the case in cooperation with the British police because the main defendants who lead this gang are in Britain.
