Two bank staff members were arrested on suspicion of fraud amounting to 900000 pounds after being searched by the police at their desks, the mirror reported. It is reported that Gerald Francis Sarpong and Mohammed Mehboob Uddin defrauded £ 936565 in 10 months in 2018. In July of the same year, sarapong from Essex was arrested by the police in her office in Birmingham. At the time of arrest, the police seized his mobile phone and other digital devices, and found the short message with customer account details he sent to Uddin on his mobile phone. On July 17, 2018, after obtaining a search warrant and seizing Uddin's digital equipment and documents, the police arrested him at his home in Bethnal Green, London.
The bank discovered their fraud and reported the case to a special regulatory authority (dcpcu), a special police unit sponsored by the bank and the financial industry, which is responsible for investigating and responding to criminals with fraud. Sarpong and Uddin confessed to the crime of conspiracy to defraud and were sentenced to 5 years and 11 months' imprisonment and 6 years and 8 months' imprisonment respectively at the London Criminal Court on November 5. All victims' funds were fully refunded by the bank. The two send the details of the customer's account to each other through their mobile phones. Police said the two men were lucky to believe that because they were trusted by their employers, they could escape punishment for their fraud. Ben Hobbs, dcpcu's sheriff, told the media: "Sarpong and Uddin acted recklessly. They took chances and thought they could escape the fraud involving more than 900000 pounds. The results of this case show that anyone who abused the trust of his employer will be punished." (compiled and reported by China Youth Network)
