Two people have been arrested in Murcia for defrauding almost 100,000 euros to a Gipuzkoa City Council and an entrepreneur
Suspects used the "Man in the Middle" method to collect the amount in their accounts by making changes to outstanding bills.
In the context of a joint investigation by the Territorial Criminal Investigation Service of the Ertzaintza in Gipuzkoa (SICTG) and the Arroba Cartagena group of the Civil Guard, two persons aged 22 and 26 have been arrested in the Alhama region of Murcia on charges of fraud and illegal intrusion into computer systems, in which the suspects defrauded nearly 100,000 euros, including a Guipuzcoana town hall and a Murciana town.
The Department of Safety and Security has reported that in 2024 the Cybercrime Group IKERNET of the SICTG of the Ertzaintza took over the investigation of an alleged crime of fraud suffered by a Gipuzkoa City Council.
This fraud was carried out throughthe "Man in the Middle"modality, which consisted of intercepting communications between companies and institutions and obtaining outstanding invoices, manipulating them at the appropriate time and changing the account number to the accounts of fraudsters.
It was through this methodology that a Gipuzkoa City Council was scammed for 41,382 euros and, while investigating this case, it was discovered that an entrepreneur from the Murciana town of Fuente Álamo had also been scammed and robbed of more than 55,000 euros.
The two detainees, aged 22 and 26, have been placed at the disposal of the investigating courts in Toulouse and Cartagena, while the Ertzaintza continues to investigate whether other similar cases have occurred.
