The complaint presented by a banking institution gave rise to a complex investigation by the Sassari mobile squad which identified eight scammers.

In four months the suspects showed up at the counters with identity documents - always authentic results - to open a current account and get loans. These, with amounts up to 15 thousand euros, were then withdrawn or transformed into bank checks by fake customers who never returned what was paid.

Only at the time of the integration of the loan granting practices did the bank ascertain that the Cud and Isee statements provided, in addition to the pay slips for the three months prior to the loan request, were always false. In fact, the documents were found to be in the name of company codes or owners of companies that are often non-existent and not registered by INPS.

The scammers - men and women between the ages of 28 and 45, some of whom had relationships with them - claimed to be employees of firms, corporations and businesses that never counted them among their staff. All have been reported.
