A ‘criminal network’ of 24 people was arrested for allegedly submitting loan applications to an electronic financing company using forged documents to get access to greater amounts.
According to the Interior Ministry, the suspects forged bank statements, salary certificates and stamps belonging to employers, falsely indicating they received salaries higher than their actual income. The falsified documents were submitted to financial platforms as part of their financing requests.
The suspects, referred to only as ‘Asian nationals’, were arrested on charges of participating in the racket, and have been referred to criminal trial.
However, some of the suspects were based overseas, and could not be apprehended.
