An Arab suspect is on remand after BD14,100 went through a car showroom’s online payment link using stolen bank cards issued by foreign financial institutions, the Public Prosecution announced yesterday. The case began with a report from an electronic payments firm of suspicious activity on its website. The Anti - Economic Crimes Directorate at the General Directorate of Anti-Corruption and Economic and Electronic Security opened enquiries, identified the suspect and tied him to the transactions.
Payment link Prosecutors said he admitted working with a person abroad to exploit the showroom’s payment link to pay part of a vehicle’s price. Eight bank cards from banks inside the Kingdom were seized from him. Witnesses told investigators that, after the payment was processed, complaints arrived from cardholders who denied authorising the charges.
