The American police detained a bank employee after she withdrew about four million dollars from clients' accounts before she was caught. According to K8 News, employee Khizer Benki is facing charges of embezzlement, forgery, financial fraud, identity theft, and computer fraud. According to court documents, on March 20 of this year, it was discovered that Benki, working in one of the banks, 'was involved in non-consensual fraudulent activities' concerning client accounts.
From the established investigation: 'The first signs of danger arose when a transfer from the account of a deceased client began.' Investigators stated that the transfer was implemented using the data for accessing another employee's account without his consent. Court documents said: 'The investigation found that [Benki] accessed client accounts and made non-consensual financial transactions to a joint account she shared with her grandmother.'
Randolph police detained Benki and held her in the Bokar-Raton jail awaiting trial. Additional analysis showed that money was withdrawn from the last accounts of clients. The total amount withdrawn, according to the investigation, was 241,900 dollars.
It was stated: 'The transfer of these funds was part of a fraudulent scheme, in which [Benki] transferred money from a client account to another to cover previously non-consensual withdrawals.' In a statement before the court, Benki wrote: 'I took money from clients that I knew at that time would not have the money.' After reviewing the case, on April 21, the judge found sufficient reason to charge Benki and issued a warrant for her arrest.
