An agent at a delivery company, allegedly involved in the theft and illegal sale of 16 smartphones, has been remanded in custody over charges of tampering with a computerised system and electronic fraud.
The Cybercrimes Prosecutor revealed that investigations held simultaneously with the Financial Crimes and Money Laundering Prosecution have tracked missing funds to the accused’s unknown partner.
"The delivery company's system had been redirected in a way to show ‘paid’ but the mobile phones had been sold and the money transferred abroad,” said the Prosecutor.
“The suspect had made several unsuccessful attempts to break into the system until he found a ‘loophole’ that allowed access and theft."
The Prosecutor revealed that the company had provided a technical report outlining all the alleged incidents.
"The suspect's phone was scrutinised and evidence found of the deal with the other culprit,” the statement added.
"After being questioned by the Prosecution, the accused has been charged and remanded in custody."
