The Ministry of Interior arrested three suspects of Asian nationality, as they forged bank transfer orders of local companies and transferred funds to accounts of fake companies. 

The ministry said the department of economic and electronic crimes control of the General Directorate of Criminal Investigation was able to arrest the suspect by coordinating with the concerned bank during one of their operations. While inspecting their houses, the officials found chequebooks with fake signatures of various fictitious companies, in addition to a number of ATM cards, credit cards and bills of purchase to cover their criminal activity.

The suspects confessed to the charges during the investigation and will be presented to concerned authorities to complete procedures.

The department urged commercial and financial institutions and companies to cooperate with them in case they notice any withdrawal of funds or purchases or transfers by non-specified means, in order to prevent any financial losses due to this type of electronic fraud.
