A 36-year-old Nigerian , resident in Turin and known to the police, was reported yesterday in Selargius for aggravated fraud committed against a local entrepreneur .

The 36-year-old had somehow managed to enter the email address of the Selargina company , managing with great IT skill to modify the IBAN code indicated in an invoice made out to a supplier . When paying that invoice, the defrauded entrepreneur had therefore involuntarily sent a bank transfer of over 6000 euros to the skilled scammer , only to then realize the flaw when he received the request for payment from the supplier company.

The police managed to identify the Nigerian by checking who physically had access to the current account into which the money flowed.
